After getting all charged up coming from a two-bye week, the IMG Academy is all pumped up to take down their next opponent East St. Louis on Friday. The team is coming off pretty strong with five consecutive wins and one loss this season. However, this week’s game against Louis is their only chance to turn the tables of rankings the other way around. The stakes are high. This could be a turning point for them. Let’s see what the fuss is all about.
The Ascenders are gearing up for a major test this week against undefeated East St. Louis. Currently, the team is on a winning streak, having won 8 consecutive games and dominating the competition this season. Winning this game is very important for the IMG Academy, as the team is currently standing still in 6th position in the high school football top 300 teams this season, and it is their only chance to elevate their season rankings.

However, it’s going to be a tricky game for IMG Academy players, as the team is not only regarded as the top team in Illinois but also boasts an impressive track record. Their defense has almost made it impossible for their four opponents to even score a single point against them, and the rest two who tried to score couldn’t cross more than 7 points. Now you can understand the intensity of the game.
Talking about the Ascenders’ gameplay this season, even they have a pretty impressive track record coming off their recent win against the Venice Indians. The team landed their first loss of the high school season going up against the IMG Academy and are currently standing on a six-win, one-loss streak in the season. The game turned out to be much more intense than anticipated. It will be intriguing to see if the Ascenders can replicate their success against the undefeated St. Louis team or if they will suffer their second loss. But for now, let’s focus on IMG’s victory over Venice.

The IMG Academy Ascenders put on an impressive display of gameplay against the Indians. Right from the beginning, the Ascenders established a winning atmosphere against Venice. They started the game with a challenging play, but they managed to turn it into a touchdown successfully. This accomplishment was largely due to their talented quarterback, Ty Hawkins, who completed 6 out of 9 passes and ran for 117 yards. Each player showcased their peak performance, and this was evident in their overall gameplay.
Even wide receiver Donovan Olugbode managed to make four catches and run for 101 yards. This provided a significant advantage to the team’s offense against Venice. The strength of their offense could pose a challenge for the East St. Louis team. However, it is too early to jump to conclusions. Let’s see if the Ascenders can achieve any success in improving their rankings this Friday. Until then, continue supporting your favorite high school team.
