The Quincy Trojans will venture away from home to take on the Williams Yellowjackets at 2:00 p.m. on Friday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Quincy has four straight wins, Williams has ten straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
While Quincy's victory against Maxwell wasn't quite the blowout it was the last time the pair played, they still came out on top. The Trojans won by a run and slipped past the Panthers 8-7.
