The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 74 yards.

Friday's game might be decided on the ground. Twelve Bridges has been unstoppable on the ground this season, having averaged 295.5 rushing yards per game. However, it's not like Placer struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 250.5 rushing yards. There's a good chance Friday's contest turns into a tough fight on the ground.
Everything came up roses for Twelve Bridges against Placer when the teams last played back in November of 2024, as the squad secured a 43-7 victory. Will the Raging Rhinos repeat their success, or do the Hillmen have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
