Essex is four games into its season, but it hasn't met anyone harder than the team challenging it next. It takes on Exira-EHK this Friday. Neither team wants a repeat from last game, where each was handed a considerable defeat.
Essex has to be hurting after the devastating 52 - 22 loss at the hands of Clarinda Academy last game.
Meanwhile, Exira-EHK simply didn't have it last week, losing 61 - 25 to Sidney. Sidney was expected to win (it is ranked 85th in the nation, many places ahead of Exira-EHK), but it was still a bitter blow.
After their losses, Exira-EHK dropped to 1-2 and Essex dropped to 0-4. Both Exira-EHK and Essex have been struggling on the defensive side of the ball (the former allowing an average of 43.33 points per game, the latter an average of 52.5 points per game). We'll find out which offense can take advantage of this fact when the two teams meet this week.
