The Verrado Vipers will host the Desert Edge Scorpions at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Verrado will be looking to extend their current eight-game winning streak.
Desert Edge's offense is going to have their work cut out for them on Wednesday: Verrado hadn't allowed a single point the last four times they've hit the field. The Vipers never let Notre Dame Prep get on the board and left with a 33-0 victory on Thursday. With that win, the Vipers brought their scoring average up to 25.9 points per game.
Nevaeh Romero went supernova, picking up 40 receiving yards and one score, while also throwing for 51 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
Verrado didn't let much get past them through the air: they limited Notre Dame Prep to a completion percentage of just 32.4%. The team can thank Allison Rospierski for the heroic effort on defense: she. Sadly, that's becoming something of a trend for Verrado; they were averaging 57.7%completion percentage earlier this season, but in their last three contests they've fallen to only 57.7%.
Verrado's defense didn't let Sutton Hartman, get away unscathed either: they got into the backfield for four sacks. Notre Dame Prep's QB won't forget Rospierski anytime soon given she sacked her twice.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Desert Edge). They took their matchup on Thursday with ease, bagging a 63-0 victory over Copper Canyon. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.
Desert Edge's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged two passes before it was all said and done. The team can thank two different players for their defensive prowess: Andrea Garcia and Alexa Salinas, who each picked up one interception apiece.
Verrado's record is now 10-2-1. As for Desert Edge, their record now sits at 7-4.
Verrado beat Desert Edge 14-6 in their previous meeting back in October. Will the Vipers repeat their success, or do the Scorpions have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
