After each having a week off, they and the Cardinal Gibbons Chiefs will shake off the cobwebs and square off against one another at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Boca Raton is strutting in with some offensive muscle as they've averaged 32.3 points per game this season.
Boca Raton will head into Friday's matchup hoping to keep the good times rolling: they proved they can win big back in September (they won by 53) but last Friday they proved they can win the close ones too. They narrowly escaped with a victory as the squad sidled past Royal Palm Beach 9-7. The nine-point effort marked the Bobcats' lowest-scoring match of the season, but in the end it didn't matter.
