The Chaffey Tigers will hit the road for the first time this season to face off against the Redlands Terriers at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Both come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Chaffey is headed out to face Redlands after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they were looking for. Chaffey sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 22-20 victory over Fillmore on Friday. The win was some much needed relief for the Tigers as it spelled an end to their four-game losing streak dating back to last season.
The critical scores for Chaffey came from Noah Stewart, Justin Alcantara, and Seth Delgado.
Chaffey wouldn't let Fillmore keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Carlos Vasquez was the leader in that area as all came courtesy of his dominant performance. He didn't just play on offense: he also forced two fumbles and made six total tackles. Andrew Rodriguez was another major factor on D, making 11 total tackles and snagging an interception.
Meanwhile, Redlands posted their biggest victory since August 18, 2023 last Friday. They really took it to Citrus Hill for the full four quarters, racking up a 34-6 win on the road. Given the Terriers' advantage in MaxPreps' California football rankings (they are ranked 386th, while the Hawks are ranked 900th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Theodore (Teddy) McGee was a one-man wrecking crew for Redlands as he rushed for 165 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries. McGee's longest rush was for an impressive 61 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total. The team also got some help courtesy of Anthony Fraire, who threw for 229 yards and two touchdowns on only 18 passes.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Redlands was moving up and down the field and finished the game with 445 total yards. That's the most total yards they've posted since was before the start of last season.
Chaffey came up short against Redlands in their previous matchup back in August of 2023, falling 34-22. Can Chaffey avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
