Springer (1-5) is seven games into its season, but it hasn't met anyone harder than the team challenging it next. It and Mountainair (5-1) take on one another this Friday at 7:00 PM on Springer's home turf. Both teams have had struggles on the defensive side of the ball, with Mountainair giving up an average of 28 points per game and Springer allowing an average of 34.
The result of Springer's previous contest was disheartening but, based on state rankings, not too surprising. It had a rough outing against Dora/Elida two weeks ago, losing 50 - 6. Springer was in a tough position by the half, with the score sitting at 38 - 6.
As for Mountainair, it didn't have too much trouble with Dora/Elida in its last game, where Mountainair won 66 - 48. Mountainair's offense might have been extra motivated to turn things around after difficulties scoring in its previous game.
The last time they met, Mountainair was the decided 72 - 20 victor. Can Springer avoid another defeat? We'll see on Friday.
