The Glen Allen Jaguars will take on the Matoaca Warriors at 6:00 p.m. on Monday. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.
The home team had come away the winner the last seven times Glen Allen and Hermitage had met, but sadly for the fans who attended this one that wasn't the case. The Jaguars came out on top against the Panthers on Friday by a score of 13-0 (the very same score they lost by in their prior game). The high-scoring effort was just what the Jaguars needed considering they were shut out in their previous game.
