After two weeks on the road, Scotch Plains-Fanwood is heading back home. They will square off against New Brunswick at 7:00 PM on Friday. Scotch Plains-Fanwood have seen their point totals decreasing over the past four games, a vulnerability New Brunswick are surely hoping to exploit.

We expected Scotch Plains-Fanwood to have trouble with the significantly higher-ranked Colonia last Friday, and they did. Scotch Plains-Fanwood ended up on the wrong side of a painful 7-35 walloping at Colonia's hands. Scotch Plains-Fanwood were in a tough position by the half, with the score sitting at 0-28.

Meanwhile, New Brunswick have been struggling to pick up a win, with their matchup against Carteret making it five winless games in a row. New Brunswick found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unpleasant 22-44 punch to the gut against Carteret. The state rankings had actually given New Brunswick a slight edge heading into the game, making this hurt that much more.

With both teams hitting sour notes in their previous games, they will no doubt be looking to produce a better outcome in this one. We'll see which team satisfies their hunger and which team leaves with an empty stomach.
