The Sherman Oaks CES Knights will challenge the New Designs Watts Knights at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Both come into the matchup bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Last Friday, Sherman Oaks CES was fully in charge, breezing past Rolling Hills Prep 68-20 on the road. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Knights.
Sherman Oaks CES's win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Daniel Truong, who rushed for 193 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries. Truong's longest rush was for an impressive 60 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total. David Aneyan was in the mix as well, providing Sherman Oaks CES with two touchdowns.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Sherman Oaks CES was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 318 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've posted since back in September of 2023.
Sherman Oaks CES's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged four passes before it was all said and done. Liam Clinger led the group effort, picking up two of those interceptions all by himself. Sherman Oaks CES got some further help from Jacob Ashikian: he picked up two sacks and made 19 total tackles (3.0 for loss).
Meanwhile, New Designs Watts had to kick off their season on the road last Friday, but they showed no ill effects. They secured a 28-24 W over East Valley. The victory was some much needed relief for the Knights as it spelled an end to their five-game losing streak dating back to last season.
Among those leading the charge was Mister Bradford, who picked up 102 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up a sack and made four total tackles.
New Designs Watts' defense stepped up as well, laying out Boaz Yoo. five times. East Valley's QB won't forget Magic Haynes anytime soon given he sacked him twice.
