Suggested Video

The Balboa Buccaneers will be defending their home-field for the first timethey go up against the Casa Grande Gauchos at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.

Balboa is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after opening their season on the road. They fell 17-6 to San Mateo on Thursday.

Meanwhile, Casa Grande couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They were outmatched by Cardinal Newman at home and fell 61-14. The defeat continues a trend for the Gauchos in their matchups with the Cardinals: they've now lost six in a row.

Things could have been worse for Balboa, but things could have been a whole lot better as they took a 28-14 loss to Casa Grande in their previous meeting back in September of 2023. Thankfully for Balboa, Zach Herrera (who rushed for 84 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 59 receiving yards) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result?
