It’s Air Jordan vs. Ground Garfield.

The outcome of Friday’s game between the top teams in the Eastern League will come down to which imposes its specialty better on the other.

Jordan (5-3, 4-0) throws, throws and throws. These Bulldogs average 250.3 yards passing a game, and have five receivers with at least 10 catches and 200 yards. Garfield (6-1, 3-0) runs, runs and runs. These Bulldogs average 220.5 yards a game, and have three rushers with at least 40 carries and 300 yards.

Jordan has been hot, scoring 51, 52 and 35 points in its last three games. Garfield has been steady, being held under double-digits just once, in a 14-7 loss to San Pedro.

Too bad they’ll only play each other once this season.
