Friday's football games 10/28/04

Jackson (6-2) at Eureka (8-0), 7 p.m.

• Last week: Rockwood Summit 34, Jackson 14; Eureka 44, Seckman 0

Last year's meeting: did not play

Notes: Jackson had some costly turnovers against Rockwood Summit which put the Indians in a hole in district play. The Indians will have to find a way to stop the running game of undefeated Eureka to stay in contention for a district title. Sam Johnson leads Eureka's rushing attack with 1,059 yards and 15 touchdowns. Cedric Owens has 11 touchdowns for Eureka and 692 rushing yards.

Crystal City (4-4) at Scott City (7-1), 7 p.m.

• Last week: Scott City 37, Grandview 6; Charleston 41, Crystal City 6

Last year's meeting: Crystal City 41, Scott City 0

Notes: Scott City will have district title hopes and revenge on its mind. The Rams were thrashed by the Hornets last season on the road. Matt Schaefer continues to lead the area in rushing, while quarterback Mark Johnston bounced back from a subpar performance in a loss to Hayti.

Perryville (3-5) at Kennett (1-7), 7 p.m.

• Last week: Perryville 49, NMCC 30; Dexter 42, Kennett 14

Last year's meeting: did not play

Notes: Perryville has won two straight and will look to set up a potential district title clash at home with Dexter in Week 10. Matt Unterreiner exploded in Perryville's win over NMCC, rushing for 317 yards on 40 carries. Unterreiner went over the 1,000-yard mark with his big performance.

Hayti (5-3) at Chaffee (0-8), 7 p.m.

• Last week: St. Vincent 61, Chaffee 6; Hayti 26, Valle 19

Last year's meeting: Hayti 68, Chaffee 0

Notes: Chaffee has not been shut out since Week 2 and will look to keep that streak going at home. In the last two weeks, Hayti pinned the first loss on Scott City and state-ranked Valle.

St. Vincent (7-1) at Valle (6-2), 7 p.m.

• Last week: St. Vincent 61, Chaffee 6; Hayti 26, Valle 19

Last year's meeting: St. Vincent 14, Valle 12

Notes: St. Vincent's stingy defense will be key if the Indians are going to win their second straight district title. Last year, St. Vincent won a low-scoring affair with the Warriors. Quarterback Alex Armbruster passed for three touchdowns last week and five running backs topped 40 yards.
