Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Walsh will venture away from home to face off against Cheraw at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Cheraw knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 31 points or more in their past four matches -- so hopefully Walsh likes a good challenge. As for Hanover, they will head out to challenge Cheyenne Wells at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. Cheyenne Wells is on a four-game streak of home wins, Hanover a five-game streak of away wins (dating back to last season)-- so someone will have to leave a streak behind on the field.
