The North Saxons will head out to square off against the El Segundo Eagles at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday. Neither of those teams managed to put together many points in their previous contests, so the offenses might be a little more motivated than usual.
North is probably headed into the matchup with a chip on their shoulder considering Torrance just ended the team's three-game winning streak on Friday. They fell 19-8 to the Tartars. While losing is never fun, the Saxons can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' California flag football rankings (they are ranked 230th, while the Tartars are ranked 99th).
Meanwhile, El Segundo fell victim to Inglewood and their airtight defense on Tuesday. They took a hard 18-0 fall against the Sentinels.
El Segundo's loss dropped their record down to 3-7-1. As for North, their defeat dropped their record down to 5-2.
North strolled past El Segundo in their previous matchup back in September by a score of 20-6. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Saxons since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
