SportsZone Football Friday game of the week preview: Battle vs. Harrisonville
LIVE PLAYBACK: Watch Battle host Harrisonville in the video player below.
We are almost midway through the regular season for high school football in Missouri. SportsZone Football Friday continues on with week four games.
Our game of the week for this week is the matchup between the Battl Spartans and Harrisonville Bulldogs at 7:00 p.m. Friday.
You can watch the game live on KZOU over the air on channel 17.3.
The Spartans come into the matchup 2-1 and have won two straight games. Battle defeated cross-town rival Rock Bridge last week, 21-14.
Battle football coach Atiyyah Ellison said, “You can’t tell when looking at the schedule which games you will win or lose. I’m just happy that we seem to be progressing throughout the year.”
Ellison believes the team is buying in well after the first three games. Ellison is in his first year as the head coach of the Spartans.
“It’s all about trust. If we can get them to trust us, we’ve got a lot of good coaches here. So, once they buy fully and not ride the fence, I think we’ll do a lot of good things,” Ellison said.
The Bulldogs are 0-3 and are coming off a tough loss in overtime last year. Battle aims for its third straight win and hopes to do so on for its first win of the year on home turf.
