Preview: McIntosh vs. Northside

McIntosh is 3-0 against Northside since March of 2021, and they'll have a chance to extend that success on Tuesday. The McIntosh Chiefs will head out on the road to challenge the Northside Patriots at 8:00 p.m. McIntosh will be coming into the contest with an undefeated record on the line.

On Saturday, McIntosh faced Dalton in a battle between two of the state's top teams. McIntosh walked away with a 3-1 win over Dalton.

Meanwhile, the matchup between Northside and Central on Thursday hardly resembled the 2-0 effort from their previous meeting. The two teams finished up on equal footing with a 4-4 draw. The result (or lack thereof) marked Northside's first draw of the season.

McIntosh's win was their sixth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 9-0. Those good results were due in large part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 26 goals over those six games. Northside's draw gives them a new season record of 2-6-1.

Everything went McIntosh's way against Northside when the teams last played back in March of 2023 as McIntosh made off with a 8-0 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for McIntosh since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
