Friday Night Spotlight: St. Peters Unbeaten Teams Look to Stay Perfect in Week 3

August is over and two weeks are in the books. As the weather turns colder, the teams start to separate.

Week 3 is set to kick off on Friday—this time Hurricane Isaac free. There's some big matchup on the schedule this week. Let's see what games are going down for the St. Peters schools. 

 (2-0) vs. Francis Howell North (0-2) at 7 p.m.

Fort Zumwalt South has been consistent through two weeks of the 2012 season. In each game the Bulldogs has put up 21 points on offense and played enough defense to get a win.

The Bulldogs, 5-5 in 2011, are looking to stay unbeaten in 2012 with a Week 3 win against the winless Francis Howell North Knights. Friday's game will be the first home game of the season for South.

Howell North has had an interesting start to the season. Offensively the Knights have average 20 points a game. Unfortunately, on defense, the Knights are giving up 40.5 points per contest. Last week Zumwalt East took out the Knights 42-20.

Fort Zumwalt East is 2-0 on the young season but will face a stiff test in Week 3. The Lions will hit the road to take on Francis Howell, also 2-0.

Francis Howell, 2-0, is fresh off a 31-7 win against Webster Groves. The Vikings have been stingy this year giving up a scant 21 points in two games.

Francis Howell Central (0-2) at Parkway South (2-0) at 7 p.m.

Despite starting the season with two games at home, the Howell Central Spartans are still looking for win No. 1. Central dropped back-to-back home games to Zumwalt East and Zumwalt South and now has to hit the road for the first time this season.

Central will be taking on Parkway South. The Patriots are unbeaten in 2012 and pulled out a 7-0 win last week.
