Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Tri will be home for the holidays to greet Union City at 7:45 p.m. on Saturday. Hopefully Union City focused on turnovers this week since the team gave up five last Saturday. Cowan will be home for the holidays to greet Eastern at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday. Eastern knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with flashy point totals in its past three matchups -- so hopefully Cowan likes a good challenge.
