Esko is on a seven-game streak of home wins (dating back to last season), while Pierz is on a three-game streak of away wins: one of those streaks is about to end. The Esko Eskomos will take on the Pierz Pioneers at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday. Esko has been dominant on offense recently, as they've racked up an incredible 459 points over their last eight matches.
Esko put the finishing touches on their eighth blowout victory of the season last Wednesday. They took their game at home with ease, bagging a 61-0 victory over Pine City. Given Esko's advantage in MaxPreps' Minnesota football rankings (they are ranked 16th, while Pine City is ranked 282nd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, Pierz put the finishing touches on their third blowout victory of the season on Tuesday. They claimed a resounding 60-16 victory over Proctor at home.
Their wins bumped Esko to 8-0 and Pierz to 6-3.
