Soccer Game Preview: McClatchy vs. Los Banos

The McClatchy Lions will take on the Los Banos Tigers in a tournament on Friday.

McClatchy is looking to tack another W on to their season record, something they couldn't quite do against Christian Brothers on Thursday. The Lions and the Falcons finished up their contest with a 2-2 draw.

Ethan Roach and Max Jacobsen scored both of McClatchy's goals, which were season-firsts for both players.

Meanwhile, Los Banos narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past Hilmar 3-2. Los Banos haven't had any issues with Hilmar recently, as the game was their seventh consecutive victory against them.

The win got Los Banos back to even at 1-1. McClatchy's draw makes their record 2-0-1 this season.

Everything went McClatchy's way against Los Banos in their previous meeting back in December of 2022, as McClatchy made off with a 7-3 victory. Will the Lions repeat their success, or do the Tigers have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
