Hand has a real challenge coming up -- the hardest it has met all year. Both it and Masuk have made it this far into the playoffs, but they square off this Saturday to determine who is worthy to move on. Hand is coming into the game hot, having won ten in a row.
Hand has netted another blowout to add to its collection (now totaling nine) after its most recent game. It took its contest against Windsor last week by a conclusive 31 - 6 score. Hand brought some defensive heat, getting to the quarterback for six sacks.
As for Masuk, you're bound to get a positive result if you outscore your opponent every quarter, and that's just how it played out between it and New Canaan last week. Masuk claimed a 28 - 14 victory over New Canaan. One of the main ringleaders for Masuk was senior Ryan Shaw, who tossed the ball for 239 yards and two TDs.
Their wins bumped Masuk to 12-1 and Hand to 11-1. It should be a fierce showdown as Hand is 5th in the MaxPreps state rankings and Masuk is 4th. We'll find out who wants it more.
