Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Cross will take on Baptist Hill at 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday.

As for Burke, they will be playing in front of their home fans against Lowcountry Leadership at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Lowcountry Leadership is still on the hunt for that elusive first 'W'.
