Football Preview: Maynard Tigers vs. Worcester Tech Eagles
The Maynard Tigers will face off against the Worcester Tech Eagles at 5:30 p.m. on Friday. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.
Maynard can't be to happy about their upcoming road game considering what happened when they opened their season on the away from home on Friday. They fell just short of Uxbridge by a score of 35-32. The Tigers just can't catch a break and have now endured four defeats in a row dating back to last season.
Meanwhile, Worcester Tech came up short against Oxford on Saturday and fell 26-14. The Eagles haven't had much luck with the Pirates recently, as the team's come up short the last four times they've met.
Despite the loss, Worcester Tech had strong showings from Ryan Gallagher, who threw for 114 yards and two touchdowns, and Emmanuel Asante Doku, who picked up 67 receiving yards and a touchdown. Asante Doku got the majority of those receiving yards when he pulled down a pass and took off for a gain of 66 yards.
Worcester Tech wouldn't let Oxford keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Worcester Tech can thank Dylan Rauktis and Haiden Eliason for forcing both of them.
Everything came up roses for Maynard against Worcester Tech when the teams last played back in September of 2023 as the team secured a 46-6 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Maynard since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
