The Bartow Yellow Jackets will head out to face off against the Auburndale Bloodhounds at 8:00 p.m. on Monday. Neither team made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.
Bartow is probably headed into the matchup with a chip on their shoulder considering George Jenkins just ended the team's six-game winning streak on Friday. They fell just short of the Eagles by a score of 2-1. While losing is never fun, the Yellow Jackets can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Florida soccer rankings (they are ranked 257th, while the Eagles are ranked 47th).
Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Auburndale, who bounced back after a loss on the road back in November. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 1-0 win over All Saints' Academy last Friday.
Auburndale's victory bumped their record up to 2-3. As for Bartow, their loss dropped their record down to 7-4.
Bartow might still be hurting after the 8-0 defeat they got from Auburndale in their previous matchup back in December of 2021. Can Bartow avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
