Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming contests. Wallkill will head out to square off against Cornwall Central at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Dragons' defense has only allowed 7.3 points per game this season, so the Panthers' offense will have their work cut out for them. As for Roosevelt, they are taking a road trip to take on Warwick at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. The Presidents will be up against the Wildcats' rather soft defense (which has allowed 30.86 points per game), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance.
