The Carson Colts will hit the road for the first time this season to take on the Millikan Rams at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Millikan took a loss in their last game and will be looking to turn the tables on Carson, who comes in off a win.
Carson is headed out to face Millikan after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they were looking for. Carson blew past Hawthorne 56-0 at home on Friday. Given the Colts' advantage in MaxPreps' California football rankings (they are ranked 170th, while the Cougars are ranked 718th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
A big part of the win came down to the chemistry between Chris Fields III and his top target Tytus Salagi. Fields III rushed for 65 yards and a touchdown on only six carries while Salagi gained 99 total yards and two touchdowns.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Carson was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 288 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 195 rushing yards in seven consecutive matchups dating back to last season.
Carson's defense made their presence known, laying out the QB four times. Leading the way was Kingston Sula and his two sacks.
Meanwhile, Millikan had to start their season on the road on Friday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They had to suffer through a 52-15 loss at the hands of Newbury Park. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest loss the Rams have suffered since August 18, 2023.
Carson and Millikan were neck-and-neck in their previous meeting back in August of 2019, but Carson came up empty-handed after a 29-28 defeat. Can Carson avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
