The regular season was a success, but the real challenge begins now, in the postseason. Sutherland will square off against Amherst at 5:00 PM on Thursday. Amherst will need to watch out since Sutherland have now posted big point totals in their last three contests.
Everything came up roses for Sutherland against Morrill last Thursday as the team secured a 60-12 victory.
Meanwhile, after soaring to 40 points the game before, Amherst faltered in their contest last Thursday. They took a 0-14 hit to the loss column at the hands of South Loup. Amherst's loss continues a disappointing trend for the squad, making it four losses in a row.
Sutherland's win lifted them to 7-2 while Amherst's defeat dropped them down to 3-5. We'll see if Sutherland can repeat their recent success or if Amherst bounce back and reverse their fortune.
