Mohawk Area came out on top in a nail-biter against Ellwood City in their previous matchup back in April of 2024, sneaking past 5-4. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Warriors since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
