The Beavers have climbed to a ranking of No. 10 in Class AA, with Frankfort and Williamstown tied for the top spot.

The upcoming match serves as a pivotal moment in the regular season for the Beavers, as they strive to advance to the playoffs and potentially secure a victory on their home turf at Mitchell Stadium.
