Noah Schuback produced another solid effort rushing for 80 yards and one TD on only 11 carries. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in August.

They were just one part of a punishing run game: Poway was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 270 rushing yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Torrey Pines only rushed for 92.

Poway didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. The picks came courtesy of Will Hawkins and Kaiden Reynolds.

Meanwhile, you can't lose the game if you win every quarter, and that was precisely Lincoln's strategy against Scripps Ranch last Friday. Given that consistent dominance, it should come as no surprise that the Hornets blew the Falcons out of the water with a 49-13 final score. The Hornets might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won four matchups by 28 points or more this season.

A big part of Lincoln's win came down to the chemistry between Kainan Manna and his top target King David Christopher-Dunn. Manna threw for 90 yards and three touchdowns on only eight passes while Christopher-Dunn picked up 106 receiving yards and a pair of scores.

Lincoln has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six games. That's provided a nice bump to their 8-2 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 43.8 points over those games. As for Poway, their record now sits at 5-6.

Friday's contest might be decided on the ground. Poway has been excellent on the ground this season, having averaged 169.7 rushing yards per game. However, it's not like Lincoln struggles in that department as they've been averaging 233.6 rushing yards. There's a good chance Friday's matchup turns into a tough fight on the ground.

Poway took a serious blow against Lincoln in their previous meeting back in September of 2017, falling 50-13. That game was all but decided by halftime, at which point the Titans were down 22-0.
