He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in each of the last five games he's played. Spencer Tracy was in the mix too, providing Fruitland with two TDs.

They were just one part of a punishing run game: Fruitland was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 323 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've posted since the start of last season.

Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Weiser, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Friday. They claimed a resounding 38-6 victory over Cole Valley Christian. The win continues a trend for the Wolverines in their matchups with the Chargers: they've now won four in a row.

Fruitland better keep an eye on Garrett Walker. He was instrumental in Weiser's win, rushing for 95 yards and one touchdown, while also picking up 54 receiving yards and one score. Walker really tore up the turf during one magnificent 75-yard run. Another player making a difference was Klete Cook, who threw for 176 yards and a pair of TDs on only ten passes.

Fruitland's record is now 7-0. As for Weiser, they now have a winning record of 4-3.

Things could have been worse for Fruitland, but things could have been a whole lot better as they took a 14-0 loss to Weiser in their previous meeting back in October of 2024. Thankfully for the Grizzlies, Kash Cobb (who rushed for 221 yards and a pair of scores while picking up 9.2 yards per carry) won't be suiting up this time.
