Oak Park is on a five-game streak of home losses, Royal a ten-game streak of away losses (dating back to last season), but someone's luck is about to change. The Oak Park Eagles will take on the Royal Highlanders at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Having both just faced considerable losses, both teams are looking to turn things around.
Oak Park fell victim to Newbury Park's stalwart defense on Friday and couldn't make it onto the board. They were dealt a 38-0 defeat at the hands of the Panthers. While losing is never fun, Oak Park can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' California football rankings (they are ranked 420th, while Newbury Park is ranked 133rd).
Meanwhile, Royal was the victim of a tough 33-13 defeat at the hands of Agoura two weeks ago.
The losses dropped Oak Park to 2-7 and Royal to 0-9.
Everything went Oak Park's way against Royal in their previous matchup back in October of 2022 as Oak Park made off with a 24-0 win. Will Oak Park repeat their success, or does Royal have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
