Marist may have come out ahead in their last contest, but they shouldn't get too cocky given who is up next. They will take on Cartersville in each of the teams' fourth playoff matchup at 7:30 PM on Friday. Both of these red-hot teams will try to put the other on ice to keep their winning streaks alive.
Marist may have failed to reach the 34.75-ppg average they boasted coming into the game against Mary Persons last week, but the squad still had enough to get the job done. Marist narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past Mary Persons 10-7. This was a playoff game, so the win was all the more important for Marist (and all the more bitter for Mary Persons).
Meanwhile, Cartersville weren't the first ones on the board, but they got there more often. They made easy work of Baldwin and carried off a 42-13 victory. Followers of Cartersville probably expected little less of the team in a season in which they have collected ten blowout victories.
Their wins bumped Marist to 11-2 and Cartersville to 13-0. Since neither squad is a stranger to landslide victories this season, you'd better bet it will be hard-fought showdown.
