Highlands have been homebodies their last two matches, but they are heading out on Friday. Calaveras and Highlands go head to head at 7:00 PM in their first playoff match of the year. Highlands know how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with flashy point totals in its past four matchups -- so hopefully Calaveras like a good challenge.
After a disappointing seven points in their last game, Calaveras made sure to put some points up on the board against Bret Harte last Friday. Calaveras enjoyed a cozy 47-27 victory over Bret Harte. Senior John Arbuckle, who rushed for 312 yards and 4 touchdowns on 17 carries, was a major factor in Calaveras's success. In fact, with 13 tackles Arbuckle was a force on both sides of the ball.
Meanwhile, four stomps in ten total games is nothing to scoff at, and that exactly where Highlands stand after their most recent contest. They put the hurt on Linden with a sharp 56-27 win. Highlands were expected to win, but the margin was definitely larger than the state rankings had forecast.
Their wins bumped Calaveras to 6-4 and Highlands to 7-3. Given their high-scoring efforts against their previous opponents, it will be interesting to see how far up these teams can run up the score.
