Soccer Game Preview: Smithville vs. Mathews

The Smithville Smithies will take on the Mathews Mustangs in a tournament on Thursday. Neither squad made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.

Mathews will have to contend with a Smithville team hungry for a victory, something the squad hasn't seen since September 23. Smithville and Waynedale finished up on equal footing with a 0-0 draw on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Mathews managed to keep up with McKinley until halftime on Saturday, but things quickly went downhill from there. The Mustangs lost 4-1 to the Red Dragons.

Mathews' defeat dropped their record down to 0-13-2. Smithville's draw makes their record 7-3-6 this season.
