Preview: McDonald Blue Devils vs. Mineral Ridge Rams
McDonald has enjoyed a two-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. They will face off against The Mineral Ridge Rams at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.
McDonald might've scored the first points on Friday, but it was Springfield who claimed the real prize. McDonald was the victim of a tough 28-7 loss at the hands of Springfield. Having soared to a lofty 40 points in the game before, McDonald couldn't push the score so high this time.
Meanwhile, things could have been worse for Mineral Ridge, but they could have been a whole lot better as they took a 28-14 loss to Western Reserve on Friday. Mineral Ridge has now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
McDonald's loss also dropped their record down to 5-4. Mineral Ridge has traveled a rocky road recently, as they've lost three of their last four games, which put a noticeable dent in their 5-4 record this season.
McDonald was dealt a bruising 40-0 loss at the hands of Mineral Ridge in their previous meeting back in September of 2022. Can McDonald avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
