Soccer Preview: Streaking Bountiful Faces Slumping Skyline

The Bountiful Redhawks will be playing at home against the Skyline Eagles at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Bountiful has three straight victories, Skyline has three straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the pitch.

If Skyline heads into halftime all tied up, they better play a good second half: that's when Bountiful took over last week. The Redhawks walked away with a 5-3 win over Alta on Tuesday.
