Glenvar and Alleghany are an even 5-5 against one another since May of 2019, but likely not for long. The Highlanders will be playing at home against the Cougars at 5:00 p.m. on Friday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Glenvar 3.8, Alleghany 3.2) so any runs scored will be well earned.

Alleghany will be up against a hot Glenvar team: the squad just extended their winning streak to four. The Highlanders never let Radford get on the board and left with an 18-0 win on Friday. The Highlanders might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six matches by six runs or more this season.

The home team had come away the winner the last five times Alleghany and Floyd County had met, but sadly for the fans who attended this one that wasn't the case. The Cougars sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 6-5 victory over the Buffaloes on Thursday. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win the Cougars have posted against the Buffaloes since May 17, 2019.

Glenvar pushed their record up to 12-5 with the victory, which was their fourth straight on the road. They've had to fight for that success though, as they only beat their opponents by an average of 5.25 runs across that stretch. As for Alleghany, their win bumped their record up to 12-4.

Glenvar couldn't quite get it done against Alleghany in their previous meeting back in April as they fell 6-1. Will the Highlanders have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other softball content.
