The Foothill Mustangs suffered their biggest defeat since November 29, 2023 on Friday. They were dealt a 52-20 loss at the hands of Cordova.

Foothill has traveled a rocky road recently, as they've lost seven of their last eight matches, which put a noticeable dent in their 7-10 record this season. As for Cordova, the win (which was their third in a row) raised their record to 8-12.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Foothill will take on Valley at 6:00 p.m. on Monday. Hopefully Valley focused on turnovers this week since the team gave up 39 last Wednesday. As for Cordova, they will head out on the road to take on Johnson at 6:00 p.m. on Monday.
