The Hamilton Bobcats will face off against the Temecula Prep Patriots at 3:00 p.m. on Friday. Neither squad made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.
Hamilton came up short against California Military Institute on Wednesday, falling 9-1. While losing is never fun, the Bobcats can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' California soccer rankings (they are ranked 520th, while the Rough Riders are ranked 210th).
Meanwhile, for the first time this season, Temecula Prep was forced to settle for a draw. They and Nuview Bridge finished up on equal footing with a 1-1 draw on Wednesday. The Patriots had to tread lightly for part of the game as Raja Syriani and James Brown were both handed yellow cards, which could explain the final result.
Temecula Prep's goal came courtesy of Jacob Koral, who's now up to 14 this season.
This is the second loss in a row for Hamilton and nudges their season record down to 2-5. With that draw, Temecula Prep's record moves to 4-2-1.
