Mattanawcook (1 - 4) and Houlton (2 - 3) are set to face off this Friday at 7:00 PM. Neither team wants a repeat from last week, where each was handed a considerable loss.
Mattanawcook has to be hurting after a devastating 40 - 6 loss at the hands of Orono last week. Orono was expected to win (it is ranked 26th in the state, 36 places ahead of Mattanawcook), but it was still a bitter blow. Meanwhile, Houlton simply didn't have it last week, losing 61 - 19 to Maine Central Institute. Houlton might be looking to mix in more passes into its game plan, as the team stuck to the run for the vast majority of its plays.
Both Mattanawcook and Houlton have been struggling on the defensive side of the ball (the former allowing an average of 31.8 points per game, the latter an average of 35.6 points per game). We'll find out which offense can take advantage of this fact when the two teams meet this week.
