The Junction City Blue Jay football team will be on the road for a second consecutive week. Junction City will travel to Topeka and take on the Topeka High Trojans at Hummer Park on Friday night.
The Blue Jays are currently on a two-game losing streak, with losses to both Washburn Rural and Manhattan. In both games, the Blue Jay offense has scored a combined total of just 14 points.
Junction City is 3-3 on the season heading into the matchup with the Trojans. Currently, Topeka High has a record of 1-5. Their only win of the year being in week four against Emporia.
Despite the record, Topeka High has some talented players, including BJ Canady, a 6'6 245 pound defensive end. Canady committed to play division one football at the University of California.
Randall Zimmerman, the head coach of the Junction City Blue Jays, admitted he likes how his team has responded in practice this week despite back-to-back losses.
When previewing the matchups against Topeka High, Zimmerman said, "The biggest thing for us is we need to snap the ball quick. We need to move the ball, maintain possession of the football, and try to wear them down."
