Then wrap up the regular season at home with Carterville who is new to the schedule this season.
Cumberland will look to defend their LOVC Southeast Conference title with five games at home against Sangamon Valley, Arcola, Villa Grove, Oblong, and Orangeville. The Pirates will travel to Oakwood, Tri-County, Martinsville, and Arthur-Lovington-Atwood-Hammond.
