The regular season was a success, but the real challenge begins now, in the postseason. On Saturday Rice Memorial will take on Middlebury at 1:00 PM. Coming off of a loss in a game they were expected to win, Rice Memorial now face the more daunting task of proving themselves against unfavorable odds.
After soaring to 38 points the game before, Rice Memorial faltered in their matchup last Friday. They took a hard 8-28 fall against Colchester.
Meanwhile, Middlebury might be getting used to good results now that the team has three wins in a row. They had enough points to win and then some against Champlain Valley Union, taking their contest 27-7.
Middlebury's victory lifted them to 5-3 while Rice Memorial's loss dropped them down to 5-3. These are two of the top teams in the state, so whatever the outcome when they meet, this is not one you'll want to miss.
