Football Preview: California Condors vs. Brea Olinda Wildcats
The California Condors are taking a road trip to square off against the Brea Olinda Wildcats at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Hopefully California focused on turnovers this week as team gave up four on Friday.
California is leaving town to face Brea Olinda after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. California had to suffer through a 51-14 loss at the hands of Covina. While losing is never fun, the Condors can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' California football rankings (they are ranked 726th, while the Colts are ranked 334th).
The losing side was boosted by Frank Gallardo, who picked up 147 receiving yards.
Meanwhile, Brea Olinda had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They breezed by Sonora on the road to the tune of 45-0 on Friday. The win was a breath of fresh air for the Wildcats as it put an end to their four-game losing streak dating back to last season.
Nathan Aceves was a one-man wrecking crew for Brea Olinda as he rushed for 147 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 7.7 yards per carry, and also picked up 69 receiving yards. Cullen Doyle was another key player, throwing for 223 yards and a touchdown.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Brea Olinda was moving up and down the field and finished the game with 429 total yards. That's the most total yards they've posted since back in September of 2023.
California might still be hurting after the 47-21 defeat they got from Brea Olinda when the teams last played back in August of 2023. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Doyle, who threw for 230 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 11.5 yards per attempt. Now that California knows the damage he can cause, will they be able to stop him this time? There's only one way to find out.
