St. Louis HomeSchool P has won six straight games at home, while Chester has won six straight on the road, but those streaks won't matter much on Wednesday. The Patriots will host the Yellowjackets at 4:30 p.m. The two teams each escaped (but just barely!) with wins against their previous opponents.
While St. Louis HomeSchool P's win against Priory wasn't quite the blowout it was the last time the pair played, they still came out on top. The Patriots narrowly escaped with a victory as the team sidled past the Ravens 3-2. The game snapped a strange streak: the last six times these teams have met, it?s been the away team that?s taken home the W.
