Great Neck North is five games into its season, but it hasn't met anyone harder than the team challenging it this week. It and Long Beach go head to head this Saturday at 2:00 PM. Neither team wants a repeat from last week, where each was handed a considerable loss.
Great Neck North had a lot of difficulties with Calhoun last week and took a hard 49 - 20 hit to the loss column.
Meanwhile, after flying high the game before (34 points), Long Beach faltered in its previous match. It was shutout by Garden City last week, with Garden City beating Long Beach 28 - 0. The blowout was painful but not necessarily a surprise as Garden City is ranked 47th in the state, many places higher than Long Beach.
After their losses, Long Beach dropped to 4-2 and Great Neck North dropped to 2-3. Both Long Beach and Great Neck North have been struggling on the defensive side of the ball (the former allowing an average of 28 points per game, the latter an average of 32 points per game). We'll find out which offense can take advantage of this fact when the two teams meet this week.
