Francis Parker has enjoyed the comforts of home their last three games, but now they'll head out on the road. They will square off against The La Jolla Country Day Torreys at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Last Friday, Francis Parker had to suffer through a rough 57-22 loss at the hands of Bishop's. While losing is never fun, Francis Parker can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' California football rankings (they are ranked 765th, while Bishop's is ranked 267th).
Despite the defeat, Francis Parker had strong showings from Griffith Manse, who picked up 100 receiving yards and a touchdown, and Avondre Kelley, who rushed for 69 yards and a touchdown.
Meanwhile, La Jolla Country Day didn't have too much trouble with Classical Academy on the road on Friday as they won 22-7.
La Jolla Country Day can attribute much of their success to Jack Levin, who threw for 72 yards and two touchdowns while completing 85.7% of his passes, and Jack Circuit, who gained 28 total yards and two touchdowns.
Bishop's victory bumped their season record to 6-3 while Francis Parker's defeat dropped theirs to 2-7.
Francis Parker might still be hurting after the 21-0 loss they got from La Jolla Country Day when the teams last played back in October of 2022. Can Francis Parker avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
