The Taylor Yellowjackets will head out to take on the Finneytown Wildcats at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Taylor has five straight wins, Finneytown has three straight losses), but none of that matters once you're on the pitch.
Taylor had to skate by with only a one-goal margin when they last took the pitch, which might have inspired the four-goal drubbing they dealt Purcell Marian on Saturday. The Yellowjackets put the hurt on the Cavaliers with a sharp 5-1 victory. Considering Taylor have won five matches by more than two goals this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.
They hit Purcell Marian with a four-pronged attack, as the team got scores from Nick Ream (2), Jacob Budke, John Fenton, and Cullen Schmitt.
Meanwhile, Finneytown's game on Wednesday was all tied up 0-0 at the half, but sadly for them it didn't stay that way. They took a 2-0 hit to the loss column at the hands of Western Hills. While losing is never fun, Finneytown can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Ohio soccer rankings (they are ranked 416th, while Western Hills are ranked 188th).
Taylor's win bumped their record up to 9-5-1. As for Finneytown, their defeat dropped their record down to 5-10-2.
Everything went Taylor's way against Finneytown when the teams last played back in September of 2024, as Taylor made off with a 7-0 victory.
