Last season’s meeting between these two was a classic: Brookhaven edged South Jones 44-42 on Feb. 3, 2025 (linescore: 13-11-10-10 for Brookhaven; 10-11-9-12 for South Jones). With that two-point margin in the rearview, expect both teams to be ready for a physical, low-possession game where each possession matters.
