My goodness, do we have two mega showdowns in the Commonwealth or what? Freedom-Woodbridge is hosting DeMatha of Maryland in a game that is sold out and the same will likely be said for the matchup at Powhatan Field in Norfolk that's a re-match of last year's Class 5 State Football Championship as Maury hosts Highland Springs.
Both Freedom and Highland Springs come in on 17-game winning streaks, but you could make the case that both go down, a split happens or that each prevails.
We have a Full Preview of Maury / Highland Springs in the latest Tidewater Predictions here along with other matchups around the '757' area code.
