The Northumberland at Northampton game (The Battle for the North for any Game of Thrones fans out there ha) is an intriguing game to me. I would think the Indians should win. I certainly hope that NHS plays to their potential and makes the long return trip home victorious.
However, the Indians do not want to go in overconfident. Northampton (once a sure easy win on the schedule) has greatly improved (won 3 games last season) and again, its a long trip which changes some variables.
Northampton just dropped 46 points on Mathews in a victory last week. Last night, Mathews jumped to a 25 point lead over Middlesex before winning 33-25. (If I remember correctly, Mathews is the team that derailed a promising season for Northumberland last season.) West Point started the season with a big win over Northampton, who defeated WP last year.
Go Indians! Take care of business...
