The St. Margaret's Tartans will head out to take on the La Salle Lancers at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Having both just faced considerable losses, both teams are looking to turn things around.
St. Margaret's is leaving town to face La Salle after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. St. Margaret's was outmatched by Laguna Beach at home and fell 52-13. While losing is never fun, the Tartans can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' California football rankings (they are ranked 318th, while the Breakers are ranked 129th).
Despite the defeat, St. Margaret's saw an underclassman step up: Kai Letcher rushed for 26 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 62 yards and a touchdown.
St. Margaret's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged two passes before it was all said and done. The picks came courtesy of Will Viola and Angel Cruz-Sanchez. Viola's also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making a tackle and defending a pass in addition to snagging an interception.
Meanwhile, La Salle fell victim to Xavier Prep and their airtight defense on Friday. They took a blow against the Saints, falling 41-0.
