Cambridge (11-1) and Maple Grove (11-1) are battling to keep their seasons alive when they face off in a playoff match this Friday at 12:00 PM. Cambridge has flexed its offensive muscles in its last ten matchups, so Maple Grove has a real workout ahead of it.
Cambridge has netted another blowout to add to its collection (now totaling 11) after its most recent game. Everything went its way against Millbrook last week as it secured a 56 - 8 win. Cambridge especially relied on junior Thomas English, who earned two touchdowns and 67 yards rushing the ball, and senior Colton Dean, who rushed for 52 yards and two touchdowns. English should be a familiar name as he has been a major contributor for Cambridge in the past five games.
As for Maple Grove, even if it wasn't a dominant performance, it beat Tioga 32 - 27 last week. The contest all came down to a receiving touchdown in the last minute of the game.
The last time they met, Cambridge pulled ahead with a 22 - 21 photo finish. Cambridge ended Maple Grove's playoff run with that win, so what better chance for Maple Grove to pay the team back than this game? Repeat or revenge, it should be a great matchup.
