The Stanhope Elmore Mustangs will head out to face off against the Pike Road Patriots at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. The two teams are strolling into their contests after big wins in their previous games.
Stanhope Elmore took a loss when they played away from home on Thursday, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed on Friday. They never let Percy Julian get on the board and left with a 10-0 victory. The high-scoring effort was just what the Mustangs needed considering they were shutout in their previous game.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Pike Road). They were the clear victor by a 10-0 margin over Russell County on Thursday. The win continues a trend for the Patriots in their matchups with the Warriors: they've now won six in a row.
Pike Road's offense was hitting Russell County from everywhere, as seven different players booted in a goal. JK Longnecker led that balanced group of strikers and accounted for four goals all by herself.
Stanhope Elmore is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 7-4 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 23 goals over those four contests. Pike Road's victory bumped their record up to 6-2.
Stanhope Elmore might still be hurting after the 10-0 loss they got from Pike Road in their previous matchup back in March of 2023. Can Stanhope Elmore avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
