Here’s a closer look at how both teams have been performing and what we can expect in the upcoming games.

Team Records and Standings

Edmond Santa Fe has had a challenging season so far, holding a 6-7 overall record, with a 2-4 district record.

On the other hand, Edmond North is enjoying a much stronger season with an 8-3 overall record and a 4-2 district standing.
