The Granite Hills Eagles will square off against the Perry Pumas at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday. Keep an eye on the score for this one: both posted some lofty point totals in their previous games.
Last Friday, Granite Hills took their game on the road with ease, bagging a 56-28 win over Mater Dei Catholic. Given the Eagles' advantage in MaxPreps' California football rankings (they are ranked 20th, while the Crusaders are ranked 160th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Max Turner was nothing short of spectacular: he rushed for 189 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 9.5 yards per carry. He was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 52 yards. Tristan Diaz did his part to keep the secondary busy, picking up 103 receiving yards.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Granite Hills was moving up and down the field and finished the game with 579 total yards. That's the most total yards they've posted since was before the start of last season.
Meanwhile, Perry gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Friday. They breezed by Desert Ridge at home to the tune of 40-7. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest victory the Pumas have posted since September 22, 2023.
Perry found their leader in underclassman Kael Snyder, who threw for 232 yards and five touchdowns, and also rushed for 38 yards. Lj Walker was Snyder's top target, picking up 100 receiving yards and a touchdown.
