The Grand Oaks Grizzlies will venture away from home to challenge the Caney Creek Panthers at 7:30 p.m. on Monday. Neither team made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.
Grand Oaks took a loss when they played away from home last Tuesday, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed on Friday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 1-0 win over Willis. Kailey Aguirre had the honor of scoring the game-winner for the Grizzlies.
Meanwhile, Caney Creek has been on a difficult stretch since their win on February 1. They lost 6-0 to Oak Ridge on Monday. While losing is never fun, the Panthers can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Texas soccer rankings (they are ranked 513th, while the War Eagles are ranked 78th).
Grand Oaks has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-7-2 record this season. Caney Creek's defeat dropped their record down to 4-16-3.
Grand Oaks took their victory against Caney Creek in their previous meeting back in February by a conclusive 5-1. The rematch might be a little tougher for Grand Oaks since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
