The Kingsburg Vikings will host the Redwood Rangers at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.
Redwood is hoping to do what Selma couldn't on Friday: put an end to Kingsburg's winning streak, which now stands at three games. Kingsburg claimed a resounding 38-7 victory over Selma. Given the Vikings' advantage in MaxPreps' California football rankings (they are ranked 221st, while the Bears are ranked 532nd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Kingsburg's win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Kade Holt, who threw for 172 yards and two touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. What's more, Holt also racked up 19 rushing yards, the most he's had since back in September. Drew Lunde was in the mix as well, providing Kingsburg with two touchdowns.
Meanwhile, Redwood made easy work of Mt. Whitney on Friday and carried off a 28-7 win. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Rangers.
Jimmie Burk continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, rushing for 240 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 14.1 yards per carry.
On the other side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Redwood's defense and their five sacks. Leading the way was Karter Wilder with 2.5. Abram Feldstein was another major factor on D, picking up 1.5 sacks, making seven total tackles (3.0 for loss), and defending a pass.
Kingsburg is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five matches, which provided a nice bump to their 6-4 record this season. Those victories were due in large part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 29.2 points per game. As for Redwood, their record now sits at 4-6.
Kingsburg couldn't quite finish off Redwood when the teams last played back in September of 2021 and fell 20-18. Thankfully for Kingsburg, Karson James Everett (who rushed for 138 yards and two touchdowns) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
