Reading Memorial (3-6) and Chelmsford (4-5) take on one another this Friday at 7:00 PM on Reading Memorial's home turf. Reading Memorial is limping into the contest on a five-game losing streak.
Victory was within reach last week, but Reading Memorial ultimately lost 21 - 14 to Waltham.
Meanwhile, Chelmsford's encounter with Newton South two weeks ago was a 27-point stomp, but the result last week was anything but. Chelmsford was close but not close enough last game as it fell 35 - 33 to North Andover. Chelmsford wasn't expected to win (the team is 41 ranks behind in the MaxPreps state rankings), but no defeat is easy.
The last time they met, Reading Memorial was the 28 - 0 victor. Its win shoved Chelmsford out of the playoffs, so the team will have a target on its back in this one.
