Simla is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six contests, which provided a nice bump to their 7-2 record this season. Those victories were due in large part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 12.7 points per game. As for Dove Creek, their defeat ended a six-game streak of wins at home dating back to last season and dropped them to 7-2.
Dove Creek didn't have too much breathing room in their game against Simla in their previous matchup back in November of 2022, but they still walked away with a 26-21 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Dove Creek since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
