Garden Plain is a perfect 10-0 against Douglass since October of 2017 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Friday. The Owls will look to defend their home field against the Bulldogs at 7:00 p.m. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Garden Plain has three straight wins, Douglass has three straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
