The McPherson Bullpups will venture away from home to challenge the Buhler Crusaders at 7:30 p.m. One thing working in McPherson's favor is that they have posted at least 55 points in their last four contests.
If McPherson beats Buhler with 66 points on Friday, it's going to be the squad's new lucky number: they've won their past two matchups with that exact score.

The Bullpups haven't had any issues with the Orioles recently, as the game was their ninth consecutive win against them.
