The Molina Jaguars will head out to face off against the Adams Cougars at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. Adams took a loss in their last contest and will be looking to turn the tables on Molina, who comes in off a win.
Molina took a loss when they played away from home back in October, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed last Friday. They managed a 34-30 win over Turner.
Meanwhile, Adams was not able to break out of their rough patch last Friday as the team picked up their 12th straight loss dating back to last season. They fell just short of Sunset by a score of 20-18. One positive for the Cougars, at least, is that this was the most points they've scored all season.
Despite the defeat, Adams saw an underclassman step up: sophomore Tyriq Smith rushed for 208 yards and a touchdown while picking up 8.3 yards per carry. Those 208 rushing yards set a new season-high mark for Smith.
Smith was just one part of a punishing run game: Adams was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 249 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've posted since back in October of 2023.
Molina has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four games, which provided a nice bump to their 3-6 record this season. Those victories were due in large part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 35.5 points per game. As for Adams, their record is now 0-9.
Molina strolled past Adams when the teams last played back in September of 2023 by a score of 28-14. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Adams' Jacori Luckey, who rushed for 207 yards and a touchdown while picking up 9.9 yards per carry. Now that he won't be playing on Saturday, will it be easier for Molina to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
