The Sahuaro Cougars will face off against the Catalina Foothills Falcons at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

They took a 25-15 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Red Wolves. The Cougars were up 15-0 in the second quarter but couldn't hold on to the lead.

They simply couldn't be stopped on Friday as they easily beat Amphitheater 47-13. The Falcons have beaten the Panthers the last three times they've met, but they better watch out: this was the closest the Panthers has come to flipping the script.
