The Arvin Bears will venture away from home to challenge the North Stars at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday.
Arvin is coming in off a wild two-game stretch: after soaring to 40 points on September 12th, they were much more limited against West on Friday. They lost 28-7 to the Vikings. The contest marked the Bears' lowest-scoring matchup so far this season.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask North). They blew past Boron 49-7 on Friday. Considering the Stars have won three games by more than 21 points this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
North found their leader in sophomore Robert Rodriguez, who rushed for 80 yards and one touchdown on only nine carries. Caden Haner was in the mix too, providing the Stars with one score.
North was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 236 rushing yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Boron only rushed for 121.
North now has a winning record of 3-2. As for Arvin, they now have a losing record of 2-3.
Arvin was able to grind out a solid win over North in their previous matchup back in October of 2024, winning 24-14. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was the Stars' Elijah Valdovinos, who rushed for 85 yards and a pair of TDs on only 11 carries. Now that he won't be playing on Thursday, will it be easier for the Bears to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
