The regular season was a success, but the real challenge begins now, in the postseason. Amesbury will square off against Bedford at 7:00 PM on Friday. Neither Amesbury nor Bedford could muster much offensive firepower in their last games, so look to the defense to decide this one.
Amesbury might be getting used to good results now that the team has three wins in a row. They were gifted an easy win last Friday as Manchester Essex/Rockport wound up forfeiting 0-2. The margin of victory was a little narrower than expected seeing as Amesbury are ranked 161 places ahead of Manchester Essex/Rockport in the state rankings.
Meanwhile, it's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 6-49, which was the final score in Bedford's tilt against Newton South.
Amesbury's victory lifted them to 6-2 while Bedford's loss dropped them down to 1-7. Two forfeits in a row aren't very likely, so Amesbury better be ready for a battle.
