Given their disadvantage in the MaxPreps state rankings, Ozark should expect quite the challenge on Friday. Eureka and Ozark go head to head at 7:00 PM in their first playoff matchup of the year. Ozark come in off of four low-scoring performances in a row, a trend the squad is obviously eager to reverse.
Eureka put the finishing touches on their 5th blowout victory of the season last Thursday. They were fully in charge, breezing past Seckman 55-15. The team accrued the bulk of their points in the first half (49) and coasted on those for the win.
Meanwhile, things haven't been easy for Ozark, and their game last Friday only extended their streak of losses to four. They were dealt a punishing 6-56 defeat at the hands of Carthage.
Eureka's victory lifted them to 8-1 while Ozark's loss dropped them down to 1-8. We'll see if Eureka's success rolls on or if Ozark are able to steal their positive momentum.
