The Jacksonville Golden Eagles will head out to challenge the Glencoe Yellowjackets at 7:00 p.m. on Monday. Jacksonville's offense has struggled lately (the team hasn't scored more than a single goal for four straight games), a trend the team is no doubt ready to end.
Jacksonville fell victim to Pell City and their airtight defense last Thursday. They fell just short of the Panthers by a score of 1-0. While losing is never fun, Jacksonville can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Alabama soccer rankings (they are ranked 157th, while Pell City are ranked 47th).
Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Glencoe, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Tuesday. They had just enough and edged out Coosa Christian 3-2.
Glencoe has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five matchups. That's provided a massive bump to their 7-7-1 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 19 goals over those five games. Jacksonville's defeat dropped their record down to 3-7.
Jacksonville beat Glencoe by a goal in their previous meeting on March 6th, winning 2-1. The rematch might be a little tougher for Jacksonville since the team won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
