Given their disadvantage in the MaxPreps national rankings, Baltic should expect quite the challenge on Thursday. They will challenge Gregory on the road . Baltic will really need to gear up for this challenge, as Gregory will be their toughest opponent yet.
There's no need to mince words: Baltic lost to Irene/Wakonda last Friday, and they lost bad. The score wound up at 8-52. Baltic were in a tough position by the half, with the score sitting at 0-28.
Meanwhile, Gregory took an ego-bruising loss against Wolsey-Wessington two weeks ago, but they kept their chin up and bounced back last Friday. Gregory put the hurt on Miller/Highmore/Harrold with a sharp 36-12 win. Followers of Gregory probably expected little less of the team in a season in which they have collected five blowout victories.
Gregory's victory lifted them to 6-2 while Baltic's defeat dropped them down to 5-3. We'll see if Gregory's success rolls on or if Baltic are able to steal their positive momentum.
