Football Preview: Borah Lions vs. Mountain View Mavericks
The Borah Lions are taking a road trip to face off against the Mountain View Mavericks at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Borah is coming into the contest hot, having won their last five games.
Borah is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of Idaho's top teams: Kuna, who was ranked 17th in their home state at the time (Borah was ranked seventh). Borah simply couldn't be stopped on Thursday as they easily beat Kuna 35-7 on the road. That looming 35-7 mark stands out as the most commanding margin for the Lions yet this season.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Borah to victory, but perhaps none more so than Dylan Luekenga, who threw for 340 yards and a touchdown. Borah also got help from Mason Monteleone, who showed off his sure hands for 96 receiving yards.
Meanwhile, the third road match was the charm for Mountain View, as they earned their first road win of the season. They took down Boise 34-19 on Friday. The win was a breath of fresh air for the Mavericks as it put an end to their four-game losing streak.
Borah's record now sits at 5-1. As for Mountain View, their record now sits at 2-4.
Borah might still be hurting after the 42-21 defeat they got from Mountain View in their previous matchup back in September of 2023. Thankfully for Borah, Justin Mcgee (who rushed for 107 yards and a touchdown on only 11 carries, and also threw for 207 yards on 14 of 20 attempts) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
