Wray is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 9-13 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 57.2 points over those games. Brush's record now sits at 10-12.
Brush was able to grind out a solid victory over Wray in their previous meeting back in January, winning 41-34. Will Brush repeat their success, or does Wray have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
