Wapakoneta has played every game this season on their home field, but they'll have to hit the road on Friday. They are headed away from home for the first time to take on the Memorial Roughriders at 7:00 p.m. Wapakoneta knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 31 point or more in their past three matches -- so hopefully Memorial likes a good challenge.
