Festus will be defending their home turf for the first time on Friday when they go up against North County at 7:00 PM. The MaxPreps rankings say the odds are against Festus, but that can only make success all the sweeter.
Festus had to kick off their season with an away game, and unfortunately wound up with a long bus ride home. They found themselves the relunctant recipients of an unpleasant 6-27 punch to the gut against Fox last Friday. Festus were in a tough position by the half, with the score sitting at 0-20.
North County had to travel to play their first game of the season, and the final result was worth the trip. Everything went their way against Central last week as they made off with a 56-34 win.
North County's victory lifted them to 1-0 while Festus's loss dropped them down to 0-1. We'll find out if North County can add another positive mark to their record or if Festus can shake off the loss and take the spring out of North County's step.
