Football Game Preview: Groom vs. Higgins

Given their disadvantage in the MaxPreps national rankings, Higgins should expect quite the challenge on Friday. Their bye week comes to an end as they meet up with Groom at 7:30 PM . Higgins are hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of points per game.

Higgins ended up forfeiting their match against Follett 0-2 two weeks ago. This makes it the second defeat in a row for Higgins.

Meanwhile, Groom and Follett -- ranked 88th and 69th in the MaxPreps national rankings, respectively -- squared off last Friday in a high-profile contest. Groom have to be aching after a bruising 56-84 loss to Follett. Yes, you read that final score correctly. Yes, it was football.

With both teams hitting sour notes in their previous games, they will no doubt be looking to produce a better outcome in this one. We'll see if Higgins are able to find more success (and make for a more exciting game than their last) when the teams meet up.
