“I don’t know about being a favorable matchup,” Hayes said of his defense against Chester's rushing attack. “We’ve got a tall task ahead of us. But we’ve played outstanding defense all year that was evident on Friday night – they really rose to the occasion against a really good Wade Hampton football team.
“We’ll have to do that again on (Friday) to have an opportunity to win.”
The Cyclones feature three 1,000-yard rushers in senior running back Pha’Leak Brown (1,508), junior Stan Mills (1,098) and freshman quarterback Zan Dunham (1,000). They’ve combined for 48 touchdowns, and Dunham also has thrown for seven.
“There’s no question about it – Dillon/Chester is going to be a bloodbath,” Hayes said of what he expects to be a very physical matchup. “It’s going to be physical up front, and it’s going to be a good, old-timey football game, which is something I really enjoy.”
