Mapleton (1-3) is five games into its season, but it hasn't met anyone harder than the team challenging it next. It takes on North Douglas (3-1) this Friday at 7:00 PM. North Douglas will be looking to take advantage of a struggling Mapleton defense that has allowed an average of 49.5 points per game.
Last week, Mapleton took on Yoncalla. Mapleton's defense took a beating in the first half, giving up 50 points. That put it down 50 - 32. The defense unfortunately couldn't turn things around in the second half and allowed another 44 points. The final was a 94 - 44 defeat for Mapleton.
Meanwhile, the state rankings suggested a blowout in North Douglas's previous game, and that is exactly what happened. It picked up a decisive 'W' against Siletz Valley last week, finishing up at 54 - 16. At 38 points, that marked North Douglas's largest margin of victory so far this year.
Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, Mapleton and North Douglas will really light up the scoreboard.
