North Reading have been homebodies their last two matches, but they are heading out on Friday. Melrose and North Reading go head to head at 7:00 PM in their first playoff contest of the year. North Reading are the slight favorite, but fans of the teams should be in for an exciting match likely to go down to the wire.
After a dominant victory in their game two weeks ago, North Reading were humbled last Friday. They fell to Revere 20-27.
Meanwhile, Melrose probably have a sour taste in their mouth after their recent playoff matchup against Gloucester. Melrose have to be aching after a bruising 20-51 defeat to Gloucester. The blowout was painful but not necessarily a suprise as Gloucester enjoys a considerable advantage in the MaxPreps rankings.
The last time the two teams met, North Reading and Melrose were almost perfectly matched up the last time the two teams met, but North Reading suffered an agonizing 26-27 loss. The loss knocked North Reading out of the playoffs, so expect them to come at Melrose with a vengeful fire.
