Suggested Video

The Sherman Oaks CES Knights will hit the road for the first time this season to square off against the Rolling Hills Prep Huskies at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the two teams will really light up the scoreboard.

Sherman Oaks CES is headed out to face Rolling Hills Prep after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they were looking for. Sherman Oaks CES claimed a resounding 40-13 victory over Lighthouse Christian at home. The win was some much needed relief for the Knights as it spelled an end to their three-game losing streak dating back to last season.

Daniel Troung had a dynamite game for Sherman Oaks CES, rushing for 200 yards and three touchdowns on only six carries. Troung's longest rush was for an impressive 58 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.

Sherman Oaks CES's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged two passes before it was all said and done. The picks came courtesy of Liam Clinger and Fudail Burns. Clinger didn't just play on offense: he also made a tackle and defended three passes in addition to snagging an interception. Another thorn in Lighthouse Christian's side was Jacob Ashikian, who made 14 total tackles (2.0 for loss).

Meanwhile, Rolling Hills Prep humbled Vista Meridian with a 56-28 victory.

Sherman Oaks CES beat Rolling Hills Prep 48-35 in their previous matchup back in September of 2017. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Rolling Hills Prep's Sam Wilson, who rushed for 46 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 133 yards and a touchdown on only 12 passes. Now that he won't be playing on Wednesday, will it be easier for Sherman Oaks CES to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
