Check out the final scores of the city and area matchups for the third week of high school football.
Lafayette defeats
Benton 22-0
Lafayette continues to dominate the all-time series against Benton, and it wasn’t particularly close. The Fighting Irish’s ability to do damage on the ground and through the air proved to be too much for the Cardinals to handle.
Lafayette led 14-0 at halftime and would be able to shut down the offense of the Cardinals the rest of the contest.
The win would mark the first time Lafayette has registered at least two wins in a season since 2021. Benton will play next Saturday on the road against University Academy, whereas Lafayette will look to build upon its win streak on the road at 1-2 Savannah.
