Higgins is hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 46 points per game. They will take on Groom at 7:30 p.m. ET on Friday after a week off. If the 2-0 final from the last time they met is any indication, this contest will be decided by the defense.
It's never fun to lose, and it even less fun to lose 48-0, which was the final score in Higgins' tilt against Follett two weeks ago.
Meanwhile, Groom was fully in charge last Thursday, breezing past Follett 60-23. The margin was wide but not a surprise since the Tigers are ranked far ahead of Follett in the MaxPreps rankings.
Groom's victory lifted them to 7-2 while Higgins' loss dropped them down to 1-6. We'll see if Groom's success rolls on or if Higgins is able to steal their positive momentum.
