The North Saxons will venture away from home to square off against the Peninsula Panthers at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Neither of those teams managed to put together many points in their previous contests, so the offenses might be a little more motivated than usual.

The Saxons were dealt a 34-7 loss at the hands of the Sea Hawks. The game marked the Saxons' lowest-scoring contest so far this season.
