For the first time this season, Sonora will have a chance to prove themselves in a conference matchup. They and the Hughson Huskies will compete for holiday cheer at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Sonora has given up an average of 3.3 goals per game this season, but Wednesday's game will give them a chance to turn things around.
Sonora is coming in off a wild two-game stretch: after soaring to six goals on Wednesday, they were much more limited against Calaveras on Friday. They came up short against the Red Hawks, falling 8-0. While losing is never fun, Sonora can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' California soccer rankings (they are ranked 749th, while Calaveras are ranked 364th).
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Hughson). They were the clear victors by a 7-2 margin over Waterford on Monday. The match was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 4-1.
The victory made it two in a row for Hughson and bumps their season record up to 4-2-1. Those wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored ten goals over those two matchups. As for Sonora, their loss dropped their record down to 2-4.
Sonora might still be hurting after the 4-1 defeat they got from Hughson when the teams last played back in January. Can the Wildcats avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
