The Miller Cardinals will face off against the Marionville Comets at TBD on Friday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the pair will really light up the scoreboard.
Miller's six-game losing streak came to an end on Friday. They breezed by Hayti at home to the tune of 34-6. The victory was just what Miller needed coming off of a 57-0 defeat in their prior game.
