Suggested Video

The Camarillo Scorpions's road trip will continue as they head out to face the Royal Highlanders at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. Camarillo is strutting in with some offensive muscle as they've averaged 31.4 points per game this season.

Last Wednesday, Camarillo was fully in charge, breezing past Moorpark 44-6 on the road. Considering the Scorpions have won eight games by more than 19 points this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.

Jaeah Blaney was her usual excellent self, throwing for 256 yards and five touchdowns while completing 72.7% of her passes. What's more, she also racked up 22 rushing yards, the mostshe's had in her last nine contests.

Camarillo didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off four passes before the game was over. It was truly a group effort as Riley Kavanagh, Rebekah Stead, Emma Whittenton, and MarliRose Demate picked up one apiece.

Meanwhile, Royal entered their tilt with Simi Valley on Wednesday with two consecutive wins but they'll enter their next game with three. They walked away with a 24-12 win over the Pioneers. Given the Highlanders' advantage in MaxPreps' California football rankings (they are ranked 103rd, while the Pioneers are ranked 321st), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Camarillo has been performing well recently as they've won 15 of their last 18 matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 17-7 record this season. As for Royal, their victory was their fourth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 5-2.

Camarillo strolled past Royal in their previous meeting back in September by a score of 36-18. The rematch might be a little tougher for Camarillo since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
