Creekside is on a seven-game streak of home wins, while Coffee is on a four-game streak of away wins: one of those streaks is about to end. After both having extra time off, both teams will dust off their jerseys to square off against one another at 4:00 p.m. on December 13th. The matchup should be an exciting one, as these teams are ranked near one another in the nation (Creekside is ranked 80th, while Coffee is ranked 99th).
