Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Mountain View will welcome Flowing Wells at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Caballeros' defense has only allowed 7.5 points per game this season, so the Mountain Lions' offense will have their work cut out for them. As for Maricopa, they will square off against Mingus at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Rams will be up against the Marauders' rather soft defense (which has allowed 41.17 points per matchup), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance.
