Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Sunset will take on American at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday. American's defense has only allowed 28.5 points per game this season, so Sunset's offense will have their work cut out for Sunset. Braddock won't have much time to rest: their next match is against Mater Academy Charter at 3:30 p.m. on December 12th. Mater Academy Charter is still on the hunt for that elusive first 'W'.
