Suggested Video

The San Juan Broncos will square off against the Delta Rabbits at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. San Juan's defense has only allowed 14.9 points per game this season, so Delta's offense will have their work cut out for them.

San Juan is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup last Friday. They simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat Judge Memorial Catholic 60-12. The result was nothing new for the Broncos, who have now won eight contests by 35 points or more so far this season.

San Juan got their victory on the backs of several key players, but it was Jake Ivins out in front who picked up 122 receiving yards and a touchdown. Ivins showed off some serious burst, lighting up the secondary with a catch for 56 yards. JD Palmer got in on the action too, returning a kick for a touchdown.

Meanwhile, Delta hadn't done well against South Summit recently (they were 0-4 in their previous four matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way last Friday. Delta walked away with a 28-17 win over South Summit. The victory was a breath of fresh air for the Rabbits as it put an end to their three-game losing streak.

Delta's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Jett Rawlinson led the charge by rushing for 160 yards and two touchdowns. Rawlinson is becoming a predictor of Delta's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 2-6 when he doesn't). Kaden Kolste was another key player, picking up 78 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Delta didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off four passes before the game was over. Jaytn Brough led the group effort, picking up two of those interceptions all by himself. Another thorn in South Summit's side was Alex Walker, who picked up a sack and made 14 total tackles.

San Juan's win was their 11th straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 9-2. Those victories were due in large part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 55.0 points per game. As for Delta, their record is now 5-6.

Everything came up roses for San Juan against Delta in their previous meeting back in October, as the squad secured a 63-10 victory. In that matchup, San Juan amassed a halftime lead of 42-7, an impressive feat they'll look to repeat on Saturday.
