The Galena Grizzlies will challenge the Oakdale Mustangs at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Oakdale took a loss in their last game and will be looking to turn the tables on Galena, who comes in off a win.
Last Friday, Galena made easy work of Chavez and carried off a 29-6 victory. Given the Grizzlies' advantage in MaxPreps' football rankings in their respective home states (they are ranked 22nd in Nevada, while the Titans are ranked 724th in California), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Galena got their win on the backs of several key players, but it was Colson Kermode out in front who rushed for 88 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 115 yards and a touchdown. Galena also got a significant boost from Erick Rodriguez, who ran away from the competition to the tune of 111 yards.
Rodriguez wasn't the only one working in the rushing yards department: Galena was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 217 rushing yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Chavez only rushed for 59.
Galena didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. The picks came courtesy of Zak Smrt and Eddie Davis. Smrt was no stranger to the big play, connecting with a big catch that went for 64 yards.
Meanwhile, Oakdale had to start their season on the road on Friday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They fell 31-21 to Sonora.
