For the first time in its football program’s history, Ben’s Ford Christian School is hosting a playoff game.

“I think it’s going to be a huge game Friday,” Ben’s Ford Christian School coach Destin Pittman said. “It’s the first ever home playoff game. I’m not sure if the kids realize how big this really is because they’ve never been here before. We’re playing a really good opponent in Humphreys Academy. Offensively, I think we’ll be able to score. We’ve been able to score all year, but it’s going to come down to stops on defense.”

Pittman talked about his excitement for his team being able to host the contest.

“It’s pretty cool because we’re getting to write history,” Pittman said. “For most schools, first time hosting a playoff game was a long time ago. For us, it’s now. We’re writing history. These kids will be talking about this game for years to come, so hopefully, this will make them play harder just because they know they get to write history. I expect a big crowd.”
