East Palo Alto Phoenix Academy simply didn't have it last week, losing 80 - 12 to Woodside Priory. Things were already looking bleak at the break as East Palo Alto Phoenix Academy was down 56 - 0.
Meanwhile, the result looked promising given the state ranking disparity, but Pinewood did even better than expected last week. The final score between it and Anzar last week was a 44 - 6 blowout in Pinewood's favor. No one had a larger role in the success than senior Alex Dagman, who brought his A game into the contest. He earned two touchdowns and 88 yards rushing the ball. Dagman has been a consistent playmaker for Pinewood as this was the 3rd good game in a row from him.
The last time they met, Pinewood was the decided 70 - 8 victor. This week East Palo Alto Phoenix Academy will be hoping to improve on the low 144-yard mark it set that game. Will it avenge its loss? We'll find out soon enough.
