This first game is huge for both teams. This is Coach Keith's 4th year as the Dragons head coach and he has all the pieces in place to have a great season. A loss doesn't hurt either teams playoff hopes, but could definitely boost their confidence with a win.
This is Tygard's first year at the helm, so there shouldn't be as much pressure on him to win right off the bat.
Should be a great game none the less and I can't wait to see both teams square off Friday night!
