Alvin is on a three-game streak of home losses, Alief Elsik a six-game streak of away losses (dating back to last season), but someone's luck is about to change. The Alvin Yellowjackets will take on the Alief Elsik Rams at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Alvin comes in on a streak of failing to score more than zero points in their last three games, a trend the squad is of course eager to reverse.
