Why this one matters

The teams meet for the second time this season after a nip-and-tuck showdown on Dec. 23 at Durfee, when the Hilltoppers edged the Whalers 35-34. With that one-possession finish still fresh, expect a physical, defense-first rematch — the kind of league game that can settle bragging rights and momentum down the stretch.
