Matchup Outlook

West Florence, despite their ranking advantage, has yet to find consistency, particularly in the first half. Marion, while ranked lower, has been more consistent in putting points on the board each quarter, suggesting they could keep the game competitive.

Both teams are desperate for their first win of the season, and the Bulldogs will hope to leverage home-field advantage to gain momentum. Fans can expect a hard-fought game as both sides aim to shake off slow starts and get on the scoreboard with a victory.
