Soccer Preview: Ross vs. Franklin
After three games on the road, Ross is heading back home. They will welcome the Franklin Wildcats at 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday. Neither squad made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.
Ross' defense heads into the matchup hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Thursday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 1-0 win over Monroe. Given the Rams' advantage in MaxPreps' Ohio soccer rankings (they are ranked 87th, while the Hornets are ranked 321st), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
