Tuscarora have had a week off and are no doubt ready to get back on the field. They will challenge Freedom on the road at 7:00 PM on Friday. Tuscarora don't have the home-field advantage, but they do enjoy an advantage in the MaxPreps rankings.
Tuscarora won against Briar Woods three weeks ago with 35 points, and Tuscarora decided to stick to that point total again two weeks ago. Tuscarora put the hurt on Rock Ridge with a sharp 35-7 victory. The game was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point Tuscarora had established a 28-0 advantage.
Meanwhile, things haven't been easy for Freedom, and their match last Friday only extended their streak of losses to six. They found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unpleasant 14-44 punch to the gut against Rock Ridge last Friday. The state rankings had actually given Freedom a slight edge heading into the game, making this hurt that much more.
Everything went Tuscarora's way against Freedom the last time the two teams met as they made off with a 48-26 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Tuscarora since the team won't have home-field advantage. Watch the game and check back on MaxPreps to see if the change in venue makes a difference.
