Football Game Preview: Marin Catholic vs. Bishop O'Dowd

Bishop O'Dowd will go up against Marin Catholic at Hayward High School in continuing playoff action on Saturday. Both teams have allowed few points on average (Bishop O'Dowd 15.92, Marin Catholic 13.23), so any points scored will be well earned.

Bishop O'Dowd earned some postseason bragging rights after a successful outing last week. They made easy work of Campolindo and carried off a 35-14 win. No one put up better numbers for Bishop O'Dowd than senior Austin Jones, who brought his A game into the match. He rushed for 139 yards and 2 touchdowns on 28 carries. This marked the 12th game in which Jones has rushed for over 100 yards.

Meanwhile, Marin Catholic may have failed to reach the 34.5-ppg average they boasted coming into the match against Rancho Cotate last Friday, but the team still had enough to get the job done. Marin Catholic managed a somewhat close 7-2 victory over Rancho Cotate. The victory was familiar territory for Marin Catholic, who now have nine in a row.

The last time the two teams met, Bishop O'Dowd were within striking distance but couldn't close the gap the last time the two teams met, as they fell 20-25 to Marin Catholic. Since neither squad is a stranger to landslide victories this season, you'd better bet it will be hard-fought showdown.
