On Friday American Canyon take on Wood at Youth Night at 7:30 PM. The MaxPreps rankings say the odds are against American Canyon, but that can only make success all the sweeter.
American Canyon found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unpleasant 13-42 punch to the gut against Amador Valley last Friday. American Canyon's defeat came about despite a quality game from junior Vance Eschenburg, who rushed for 162 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Meanwhile, Wood had a bit more than a touchdown to spare in a 20-8 victory over Deer Valley.
Wood's win lifted them to 2-1 while American Canyon's loss dropped them down to 0-3. In their win, Wood relied heavily on senior Jhalen Grayer, who passed for 197 yards and 3 touchdowns; a key strategy for American Canyon will lie in finding a way to minimize his impact.
