After two games on the road, Alemany is heading back home. Rancho Verde will go up against Alemany in continuing playoff action. The stakes are high as the two teams are all in, each fighting to extend its postseason success.
Rancho Verde brought a ten-game winning streak into their matchup against Tesoro last week; they left with a 11-game streak. Rancho Verde took their contest against Tesoro 40-28. Senior Xavier Ugorji, who rushed for 275 yards and 3 touchdowns on 25 carries, was a major factor in Rancho Verde's success. Ugorji has now scored at least one touchdown in the past 11 games.
Meanwhile, Alemany's three-game streak of losses has finally come to an end. They came out on top against Cathedral by a score of 40-33. This was a playoff game, so the win was all the more important for Alemany (and all the more bitter for Cathedral).
Their wins bumped Alemany to 7-4 and Rancho Verde to 11-0. Since neither squad is a stranger to landslide victories this season, you'd better bet it will be hard-fought showdown.
