Knights hoping to get back to winning ways against Keenan
There is one statistic which jumps out at you when looking into the Keenan football team. In 2012, the Raiders are 1-2 on the road and 2-0 at home. When apprised of that fact, North Central head coach Louis Clyburn, whose team hosts Keenan in tonight's Region 3-AA opener, just laughed.

NC routs Caps in top 10 pairing
Matches between top six teams are not supposed to be this one-sided.

The precision-like 25-16, 25-13 and 25-16 victory gave Andy Johnson's charges a 9-0 record in dual match play and, more importantly, a 4-0 conference ledger.

NC jumps on Panthers quickly en route to third straight win
File this in the "Looks can be deceiving" file. Upon first glance, it may appear as if North Central was given a bit of a run for its money in Friday's 52-32 victory over host McBee. Upon closer inspection, however, that argument does not hold water.
