Fairfax has traveled a rocky road recently having lost six of their last eight matchups, which put a noticeable dent in their 8-16 record this season. Those losses can't be blamed on the team's offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 54.5 points per game. As for McClintock, they are on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six contests, which provided a nice bump to their 10-12 record this season.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Fairfax has already played their next game (against Copper Canyon), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing. McClintock will take on Central at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Central knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with 55 points or more in their past 18 matchups -- so hopefully McClintock likes a good challenge.
