On Friday Estacada take on Molalla at 7:00 PM. Estacada is expected to win -- but not by much -- so they will need to come into the contest prepared for a fight.
Estacada were able to grind out a solid victory over Valley Catholic last week, winning 28-21.
Meanwhile, Molalla gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener. They dodged a bullet, finishing off Scio 21-20. The tight race was right in line with the MaxPreps state rankings' forecast.
Their wins lifted both teams to an identical 1-0. In Molalla's win, junior Damian Pingo passed for 183 yards and 2 touchdowns and senior Jeff Larsen rushed for 56 yards and 1 touchdown. We'll see if Estacada have a strategy for dealing with them or if they lead their team to another successful outing.
