On Friday Ashland take on Springfield at 7:00 PM. Ashland is expected to win -- but not by much -- so they will need to come into the game prepared for a fight.
Ashland gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener last Friday. They walked away with a 21-12 win.
The crowd came for a game, and Springfield and North Eugene sure delivered. It was a match that couldn't have wound up any closer, but Springfield snuck past North Eugene for the 51-50 victory. Having pegged this as anyone's game, the MaxPreps state rankings were right on the nose.
Their wins lifted both teams to an identical 1-0. We'll see which team can carry over their success and which team inevitably falls when Ashland and Springfield clash.
