Both Athol and Amherst-Pelham Regional have made it this far into the playoffs, but they square off this Friday at 6:00 PM to determine who is worthy to move on. Athol has a win under its belt but has never won back-to-back; of course, Amherst-Pelham Regional will be hoping to keep it that way.
Athol can now show off three landslide victories after its most recent game. It picked up a decisive 'W' against Belchertown last week, finishing up at 42 - 0. At 42 points, that marked Athol's largest margin of victory so far this year.
Meanwhile, Amherst-Pelham Regional simply didn't have it last week, losing 49 - 0 to West Springfield. Unfortunately, Amherst-Pelham Regional could not reproduce its 42-point effort from the game before, which might not have made for a win but would have at least kept things closer.
Amherst-Pelham Regional's defeat dropped it to 6-3 while Athol's victory brought it to 3-6. Check back on MaxPreps to find out if Athol can snag another victory or if Amherst-Pelham Regional will turn things around for itself.
