Pine Hill (0 - 4) will have its first chance of the season to defend its home turf as it faces off against Northwest (0 - 4) on Saturday at 2:00 PM. Both teams have had a rocky road up to this point (Pine Hill has lost four in a row, Northwest four), but at least one team's bad luck is about to end.
Melrose delivered Pine Hill a brutal 62 - 0 loss last week. The blowout was painful but not necessarily a surprise as Melrose is ranked 2nd in the state, 25 places higher than Pine Hill. Meanwhile, things didn't go well at all for Northwest last week. The team lost 54 - 0 to Springer. Things were already ugly at the break as Northwest was down 54 - 0.
With both Pine Hill and Northwest blocked from the scoreboard in their previous games, the teams will be eager to prove themselves against one another this week.
