Their Class Ranking of 6 indicates they’ll have to punch up to make a run in the playoffs. Like Leavitt, Cony’s record is a blank slate at 0-0. The Rams will face the same two common opponents, taking on Messalonskee on September 5 and Gardiner on October 24. A strong performance in these games could be a sign of the team’s potential to defy expectations.
Head-to-Head & Common Opponents
Neither team has played any games yet this season, including a head-to-head matchup. However, the outcomes of their games against Messalonskee and Gardiner will be a key storyline to follow. These common opponents will serve as a de facto benchmark, allowing fans and analysts to compare the two teams’ performances directly. The Leavitt Hornets are considered the heavy favorite, but the Cony Rams are a team with nothing to lose and everything to prove. This will make for an exciting season, as both teams look to start their seasons on the right note.
