Los Gatos has enjoyed a three-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. They will challenge the Santa Clara Bruins at 6:30 p.m. on Monday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, both will really light up the scoreboard.
It was a proper cat-fight when Los Gatos took on Presentation on Saturday. Los Gatos enjoyed a cozy 34-19 win over Presentation. Given the Wildcats' advantage in MaxPreps' California football rankings (they are ranked 41st, while the Panthers are ranked 192nd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, Santa Clara came tearing into Wednesday's contest with eight straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 22.3 points) and they left with even more momentum. Everything went their way against the Matadors as they made off with a 38-12 victory. The Bruins might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 11 matches by 21 points or more this season.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Santa Clara was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 249 rushing yards. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 56.4 rushing yards per game earlier this season, but in their last three matchups they've averaged 170.7.
Santa Clara 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 Aviana Rangel. What's more, she also racked up 125 rushing yards, the mostshe's had since back in September.
Los Gatos pushed their record up to 22-1 with the win, which was their 12th straight at home. As for Santa Clara, they are on a roll lately: they've won ten of their last 11 games, which provided a nice bump to their 17-4 record this season.
