Two dominant signal callers in Brad Blankenheim and Jason Wilson are getting ready to go toe-to-toe. The Amador Buffaloes will square off against the El Dorado Cougars at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
Amador is coming in off a wild two-game stretch: after soaring to 48 points last Friday, they were much more limited against Union Mine on Friday. They lost 35-10 to the Diamondbacks. It was the first time this season that the Buffaloes let down their fans at home.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask El Dorado). They came out on top against Rosemont by a score of 45-34 on Friday.
Wilson was his usual excellent self, rushing for 123 yards and two touchdowns, while also throwing for 152 yards and two touchdowns. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making four total tackles and defending a pass. Jack Tilman got in on the action too, returning a kick for a touchdown.
Amador has traveled a rocky road recently having lost three of their last four matchups, which put a noticeable dent in their 4-4 record this season. As for El Dorado, the victory also got them back to even at 4-4.
Amador ended up a good deal behind El Dorado in their previous matchup back in August of 2022, losing 27-13. Thankfully for Amador, Anthony Mahaffey (who threw for 286 yards and four touchdowns) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result?
