Both teams have had a mix of successes and challenges, and they will continue to compete fiercely in their respective schedules. Here, we take a closer look at both teams’ performances, rankings, and upcoming games.

Powers (3-6 Overall)

The Powers team has faced a rough start to their season with an overall record of 3-6. They have yet to secure a win at home, with an unfortunate 0-5 home record. However, they have shown resilience in neutral games, maintaining a perfect 2-0 record when playing away from home.

Despite their struggles at home, Powers has demonstrated competitive ability with a solid scoring average of 38.2 points per game. Their schedule has featured several challenging matchups, including games against Mohawk, Riddle, and North Douglas.

Powers’ strength lies in their neutral-site games, where they’ve shown the ability to win when the pressure is high and the home crowd is not a factor. Their offensive game plan revolves around maintaining solid scoring efforts, though they will need to focus on improving their defense, as they have allowed an average of 48.67 points per game.
