Manteca has gone 8-1-1 against Central Catholic recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Saturday. The Buffaloes will face off against the Raiders at 3:30 p.m. Neither squad made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.

Central Catholic will have to contend with a Manteca team hungry for a win, something the squad hasn't seen since December 13. Manteca and River Islands finished up their contest with a 1-1 draw on Friday.

Meanwhile, Central Catholic fell victim to Oakdale and their airtight defense on Thursday. They lost 9-0 to the Mustangs.

Central Catholic's loss dropped their record down to 1-6. Manteca's draw gives them a new season record of 6-7-4.

Manteca was able to grind out a solid victory over Central Catholic in their previous meeting back in February of 2025, winning 3-1. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Buffaloes since the team won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
