Holyoke have been homebodies their last two matches, but they are heading out on Friday. Taconic and Holyoke go head to head at 5:00 PM in their first playoff matchup of the year. The MaxPreps state rankings favor Holyoke, but they won't be able to rely on this superior ranking alone to carry them to victory.
After soaring to 46 points the game before, Taconic faltered in their match last Friday. They were completely outmatched, falling 8-48 to Wahconah Regional. The lax defense was uncharacteristic for Taconic, who until this contest were averaging points allowed.
Meanwhile, Holyoke earned some postseason bragging rights after a successful outing last week. They had enough points to win and then some against West Springfield, taking their game 41-21.
Holyoke's win lifted them to 5-4 while Taconic's loss dropped them down to 4-5. We'll find out if Holyoke can add another positive mark to their record or if Taconic can shake off the loss and take the spring out of Holyoke's step.
