Brown is playing for a conference championship. A win gives the Wonders a share of the SPC title. If Anson falters against Marvin Ridge, the Wonders can win it outright.Concord has lost four in a row and just hasn’t been able to regroup since it was destroyed 51-14 by Sun Valley on Oct. 10. The Spiders, who are starting numerous sophomores, haven’t scored the past two weeks, and they’re facing a hungry, talented defensive group tonight.
Brown’s defense, which includes Dominique Phifer, has allowed one TD in its last three outings. Scott Jordan, the hero of the 1990 Bell Game, is one of Brown’s assistants.
