It was another big night for MALIK SIKA, who picked up 161 receiving yards and two TDs. That's the most receiving yards he has posted since back in August.
Meanwhile, Mountain Ridge hadn't done well against Bingham recently (they were 0-4 in their previous four matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way on Friday. The Sentinels took their matchup with ease, bagging a 35-6 victory over the Miners. Considering the Sentinels have won five contests by more than 21 points this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Mountain Ridge's win came from a few key players Westlake will need to keep an eye on. One of the most notable was Kohen Cunningham, who picked up 165 receiving yards and a pair of scores. With that strong performance, he is now averaging an impressive 104.7 receiving yards per game. Tytan Dejong also helped out as he racked up 133 receiving yards.
On the defensive side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Mountain Ridge's defense and their four sacks. The team can thank three different players for their defensive prowess: Bridger Butterfield, Dejong, and Sefa Toki, who each picked up one sack apiece. Another thorn in Bingham's side was Butterfield, who picked up a sack, made 15 total tackles (2.0 for loss), and defended one pass.
Westlake's record is now 7-2. As for Mountain Ridge, their record now sits at an identical 7-2.
We should be in store for an exciting game as the two teams have no problem gaining yardage. Westlake has been on an offensive roll this season, having averaged 388.8 total yards per game. However, it's not like Mountain Ridge struggles in that department as they've been averaging 438.7 total yards. With a pair of commanding offenses duking it out, the defenses are going to have their work cut out for them.
Westlake couldn't quite finish off Mountain Ridge in their previous matchup back in October of 2022 and fell 28-25. Thankfully for the Thunder, Semisi Kinikini (who rushed for 174 yards and one touchdown) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
