On Friday Sutherlin take on Taft at 7:00 PM. Sutherlin is expected to win -- but not by much -- so they will need to come into the contest prepared for a fight.
Sutherlin had to travel to play their first game of the season, and the final result was worth the trip. They skirted past Hidden Valley 16-13.
Meanwhile, Taft had to hit the road for their first game, and unfortunately the road hit them back. They suffered a grim 29-60 defeat to Harrisburg last Friday.
Sutherlin's win lifted them to 1-0 while Taft's loss dropped them down to 0-1. We'll find out if Sutherlin can add another positive mark to their record or if Taft can shake off the loss and take the spring out of Sutherlin's step.
