Meanwhile, it's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 42-7, which was the final score in Westminster's tilt against Laguna Beach on Friday. Westminster was in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 35-7.
Schurr's win lifted them to 9-1 while Westminster's loss dropped them down to 7-3.
Friday's contest might be decided on the ground as these two are both standouts in the run game. Schurr has been excellent on the ground this season, having averaged 190.3 rushing yards per game. However, it's not like Westminster struggles in that department as they've been averaging 177.1 per game. It's looking like Friday's contest might have some serious battles in the trenches.
Schurr might still be hurting after the 33-7 defeat they got from Westminster when the teams last played back in November of 2022. Thankfully for Schurr, Alex Solano (who rushed for 145 yards and two touchdowns) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
