The Yutan Chieftains are taking a road trip to take on the Aquinas Monarchs at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Each of these teams will be fighting to keep a win streak alive as Yutan comes in on four and Aquinas on three.
Yutan gave up the first points last Friday, but they didn't let that get them down. They walked away with a 34-24 win over Arlington.
Yutan's victory was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Nathan Daniell, who threw for 136 yards and two touchdowns on only nine passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. Yutan also got a significant boost from Max Egr, who ran away from the competition to the tune of 92 yards.
Yutan didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. In fact, those interceptions all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Carson Jurey.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Aquinas). They blew past North Bend Central 43-22 on Friday.
Yutan pushed their record up to 4-3 with the win, which was their third straight at home. As for Aquinas, they are on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five matchups, which provided a massive bump to their 4-3 record this season.
Everything went Yutan's way against Aquinas in their previous meeting back in October of 2023, as Yutan made off with a 34-13 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Yutan since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
