Edgeley’s Uncertain Start

They currently have a 0-0 record in all categories, including home, away, and neutral games. Despite the lack of data, the team will likely be looking to hit the ground running once their schedule kicks into full gear.

Washburn’s Road Ahead

As the undefeated leader in their group, Washburn will look to extend their winning streak and maintain their momentum. Key games against tough opponents like Wilton and Ellendale will test their resolve, but with a strong start, they are well-positioned to continue their dominance.

What We Can Expect from Edgeley
