  "account": "Girard and South Range are set to face off in a highly anticipated high school football showdown on Friday night, as WKBN's Game of the Week takes center stage. Both teams have been dominant this season, with a perfect 6-0 record. South Range has been on a roll, winning their last six games by a total of 133-57, while Girard has posted a perfect 10-game winning streak. The two-time Northeast 8 Conference champions will battle it out for a spot in the playoffs. Girard's quarterback AJ Pearson has been on fire, completing 77.4% of his passes and throwing for 22 touchdowns, bringing him within 1684 yards of the 2000- yard mark. Girard's defense has been a force to be reckoned with, holding opponents to an average of 7 points per game over the past three weeks. The high-stakes game is set to kick off at 7 pm on MyYTV, WKBN.com, WKBN App, and WKBN+.",
