Everything went Grimsley's way against Western Guilford when the teams last played back in March, as Grimsley made off with a 9-0 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Whirlies since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
