Given their disadvantage in the MaxPreps state rankings, Melissa should expect quite the challenge on Friday. They will take on La Vega in each of the teams' second playoff match at 1:30 PM. Both of these red-hot teams will try to put the other on ice to keep their winning streaks alive.
Last Friday, Melissa weren't the first ones on the board, but they got there more often. They took down Alvarado 56-38. This was a playoff game, so the win was all the more important for Melissa (and all the more bitter for Alvarado).
Meanwhile, La Vega got themselves on the board against Lake Worth, but Lake Worth never followed suit. Everything came up roses for La Vega against Lake Worth as the team secured a 61-0 victory. That 61-point margin sets a new personal best for La Vega on the season.
Their wins bumped Melissa to 8-3 and La Vega to 9-2. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, Melissa and La Vega will really light up the scoreboard.
