Football Preview: Jordan Beetdiggers vs. Mountain View Bruins
Two dominant backs in Jersey Alvillar and Dexton Havea are getting ready to go toe-to-toe. The Jordan Beetdiggers are taking a road trip to take on the Mountain View Bruins at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Neither Jordan nor Mountain View posted many points in their last games, so it might be the defenses that decide this one.
Jordan is headed into the matchup out to prove that what happened against Park City on Friday (when they were outscored in every quarter) was just a minor bump in the road. Jordan was outmatched by Park City at home and fell 37-7. While losing is never fun, the Beetdiggers can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Utah football rankings (they are ranked 94th, while the Miners are ranked 32nd).
Meanwhile, Mountain View was not able to break out of their rough patch on Friday as the team picked up their fourth straight defeat. They fell 17-7 to Salem Hills. That's two games in a row now that the Bruins have lost by exactly ten points.
Mountain View didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. In fact, those interceptions all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Kenyon Kunz.
Jordan dropped their record down to 1-7 with the loss, which was their fifth straight at home. As for Mountain View, their defeat dropped their record down to 3-5.
Jordan might still be hurting after the 55-30 loss they got from Mountain View in their previous matchup back in October of 2023. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Havea, who rushed for 267 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 11.1 yards per carry.
