Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Shelby-Rising City will face off against McCool Junction at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Huskies' defense better be ready for this one: the Mustangs have averaged an impressive 46.6 points per game this season. As for Mead, they will challenge Heartland at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Raiders will be up against the Huskies' rather soft defense (which has allowed 50.57 points per contest), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance.
