San Marino has given up an average of 25.7 points per game this season, but Friday's game will give them a chance to turn things around.

La Canada pushed their record up to 8-1 with the win, which was their sixth straight at home. Those home victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 6.0 points on average over those games.
