On Friday Mission Oak take on Mt. Whitney at Giant Automotive/ Mineral King Bowl at 7:30 PM. The MaxPreps rankings say the odds are against Mission Oak, but that can only make success all the sweeter.
It's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 6-49, which was the final score in Mission Oak's tilt against San Joaquin Memorial last week. Mission Oak got a solid performance out of senior Matt Bridges, who accumulated 142 passing yards and punched in 1 rushing TD; unfortunately, it just wasn't enough for the win.
Meanwhile, Mt. Whitney was the big favorite in their most recent match, and for good reason. They steamrollered Hoover 58-16. The matchup was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 41-0.
Mt. Whitney's victory lifted them to 1-2 while Mission Oak's defeat dropped them down to 1-2. Mission Oak's offensive line will need to gear up for a tough test against a Mt. Whitney defensive front that amassed 11.0 sacks against Hoover, so we'll see if they are up to the task.
