Josiah Machado Game Report: vs Palmdale

Opposing passers better start keeping an eye on Josiah Machado: he recorded his first sack on Friday and we're guessing he's looking for more. He also made six total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defended one pass, helping propel Hesperia past Palmdale by a score of 37-28. We hope Friday's match is the first of many we'll see posted here as the season progresses.

Looking ahead, Machado and Hesperia will head out on the road to take on Jurupa Hills at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Scorpions closed last season having struggled on the road and they will enter the game having lost three straight away games dating back to last season.
