Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Lincoln, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Friday. They were the clear victors by a 38-14 margin over Lodi on Friday. Given the Trojans' advantage in MaxPreps' California football rankings (they are ranked 263rd, while the Flames are ranked 609th) , the win wasn't entirely unexpected.
St. Mary's better keep an eye on David Gray. He was instrumental in Lincoln's win, picking up 101 receiving yards and a pair of scores. Gray also hauled in two receiving touchdowns, which is notable because the Trojans are 2-1 when he posts at least two receiving touchdowns, but 2-4 otherwise. Julian Perez was another key player, having thrown for 251 yards and four touchdowns.
Lincoln didn't let much get past them through the air: they limited Lodi to a completion percentage of just 36%. The Trojans weren't nearly as limited: they posted one of 47.2%.
