Salome have had a week off and are no doubt ready to get back on the field. It's playoff time, and they and Hayden are set to clash on Friday at 6:00 PM. Salome is currently enjoying a six-game winning streak and is looking to extend their dominance.
Two weeks ago, Salome put the finishing touches on their 5th blowout victory of the season. They were fully in charge, breezing past Mohave Accelerated 56-8. No one put up better numbers for Salome than junior Octavio Martinez, who brought his A game into the match. He rushed for 183 yards and 3 touchdowns. In fact, with nine tackles Martinez was a force on both sides of the ball.
Meanwhile, Hayden faced Anthem Prep in a battle between two of the state's top teams. Hayden were able to grind out a solid victory over Anthem Prep last Friday, winning 34-21.
Their wins bumped Hayden to 6-3 and Salome to 7-1. Hayden's offensive line will need to gear up for a tough test against a Salome defensive front that amassed four sacks against Mohave Accelerated, so we'll see if they are up to the task.
