Football Preview: Culver City Centaurs vs. Santa Monica Vikings

Suggested Video

Culver City has been away from home for four games now, but on Tuesday they'll finally make their return. After each having a week off, they and the Santa Monica Vikings will dust off their jerseys to challenge one another at 4:00 p.m.

Culver City's offense might be in the hot seat on Tuesday considering what happened against Redondo Union last Tuesday. They were dealt a 39-0 loss at the hands of the Sea Hawks. While losing is never fun, the Centaurs can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' California football rankings (they are ranked 533rd, while the Sea Hawks are ranked 83rd).

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Santa Monica). They blew past Lawndale 40-12 on the road last Wednesday. Considering the Vikings have won seven games by more than 19 points this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.

Santa Monica didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. In fact, those interceptions all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Bella Medina.

Culver City's defeat was their fourth straight on the road, which dropped their record down to 5-11. As for Santa Monica, the victory (which was their sixth in a row) raised their record to 8-6.
