The Marist War Eagles will take on the Clarkston Angoras at 8:00 p.m. on Friday. Both teams are still undefeated (Marist has five wins , while Clarkston has seven dating back to last season).
Clarkston better have a healthy lead at halftime, because if last week is any indication, that's when Marist really gets things going. Everything went Marist's way against Cross Keys two weeks ago as Marist made off with a 5-2 win. The result was nothing new for the War Eagles, who have now won four games by three goals or more so far this season.
For whatever reason, it's the away team that's had the advantage when Clarkston and Druid Hills meet (three straight games heading into this one) and that held true again on Monday. Clarkston skirted past Druid Hills 2-1. Given the Angoras' advantage in MaxPreps' Georgia soccer rankings (they are ranked 28th, while the Red Devils are ranked 90th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Shafi Manzi and Landry Kasongo scored both of Clarkston's goals, bringing their combined season tally to four goals.
Clarkston pushed their record up to 7-0 with the victory, which was their third straight on the road. As for Marist, their win bumped their record up to 5-0.
