Reading Memorial (8-3) has a real challenge coming up -- the hardest it has met all year. Both it and King Philip Regional (11-0) have made it this far into the playoffs, but they square off this Saturday at 8:00 PM to determine who is worthy to move on. Reading Memorial has witnessed its point totals drop over the past three games, a trend the team will certainly want to reverse.
Last week, Reading Memorial took on Stoneham. The Reading Memorial defense started things off right, holding Stoneham to six points in the first half. That gave them a 7 - 6 advantage at the half. Unfortunately, the defense lost its edge in the second half, allowing 22 points. The final was a 28 - 13 defeat for Reading Memorial.
Meanwhile, King Philip Regional crushed Franklin last week, winning 43 - 7. At 36 points, that marked King Philip Regional's largest margin of victory so far this year.
King Philip Regional is looking to hand Reading Memorial its first back-to-back losses of the season. We'll find out if Reading Memorial can avoid giving it that satisfaction.
