South Meck (3-2) comes into Friday night's game limping after a tough 48-21 loss to Ardrey Kell, where they gave up 467 total yards and six touchdowns to the Knights Justus Pickett. They will need to tighten it up on the defensive end to stop Providence and star quarterback Chauncey Concepcion.

Providence (3-2) comes into the game fresh off a walloping of newcomer Rocky River, 49-0. Panthers quarterback and Channel 9 "Big 22" Player of the Year candidate, Chauncey Concepcion racked up big numbers against Rocky River, scoring touchdowns on two long runs, 44 yards and 42 yards. Concepcion also added two touchdown passes, 24-yards and 12-yards.
