The Temecula Prep Patriots will challenge the Hamilton Bobcats at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Hamilton took a loss in their last match and will be looking to turn the tables on Temecula Prep, who comes in off a win.
Temecula Prep is headed out to face Hamilton after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they were looking for. Temecula Prep simply couldn't be stopped on Friday as they easily beat San Jacinto Valley Academy 39-0 at home. The score at the end of the third wound up being the final score as the Patriots just coasted through the last quarter.
James Brown went supernova for Temecula Prep, rushing for 147 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries. Another back making a difference was Alexander Grasso-Martins, who rushed for 77 yards and two touchdowns.
Meanwhile, Hamilton had to start their season on the road on Friday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They fell just short of Mountain Empire by a score of 8-6. The Bobcats haven't had much luck with the Redhawks recently, as the team's come up short the last two times they've met.
Hamilton's defeat shouldn't obscure the performances of Joey Rayas, who rushed for 101 yards on only eight carries, and William Hamlett, who rushed for 106 yards on only 13 carries.
Rayas wasn't the only one working in the rushing yards department: Hamilton was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 264 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 181 rushing yards in four consecutive contests dating back to last season.
Hamilton wouldn't let Mountain Empire keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Hamilton can thank Rayas and Kaidin Johnson for forcing both of them.
Everything came up roses for Temecula Prep against Hamilton in their previous meeting back in August of 2023 as the team secured a 41-0 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Temecula Prep since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
