IMO, a lot of the hype isn’t here for this game because, Perry is not playing well, on a 4 game losing streak, they have injuries to some key players, probably will be 8 players inactive this week and Wakefield isn’t there, which always gets the Tiger fans even more fired up.
This could have been a much better matchup if it took place in the third round, with Perry having a winning record, on the upswing, with all their starters healthy.
All that being said, they’ll play hard no matter the outcome.
