Gloucester is hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 39.75 points per matchup. They will take on Wilmington on Friday at home. It might come down to the wire as the MaxPreps rankings project a close game.
It was a tight contest that could have gone either way, but Gloucester made off with a 28-27 win over Boston Latin last week.
Meanwhile, even if it wasn't a dominant performance, Wilmington beat Saugus 14-8. Wilmington's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Bailey Smith led the charge as he picked up 137 yards on the ground on 24 carries. In fact, with nine tackles Smith was a force on both sides of the ball.
Wilmington's defense was a presence as well, and it made life painful for the QB and got past Saugus' offensive line for a total of four sacks. It was a group effort with four picking up one sack apiece.
Their wins bumped the Fishermen to 1-7 and the Wildcats to 3-6. While both teams are coming in off of wins, only one will triumph this game. Who will it be? Check back in with MaxPreps after the game is over for details.
