While Poly put up some points on Friday, the same can't be said for Arlington. The Bears simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat the Lions 27-0. Given the Bears' advantage in MaxPreps' California football rankings (they are ranked 356th, while the Lions are ranked 770th) , the win wasn't entirely unexpected.
A big part of Poly's victory came down to the chemistry between Marjok Gustafson and his top target Matt Henry. Gustafson threw for 179 yards and two touchdowns while Henry picked up 138 receiving yards and a pair of scores. Gustafson's passing game has become a key predictor of Poly's success: the team is undefeated when his passer rating is 100 or higher, but only 0-3 otherwise.
Poly pushed their record up to 7-3 with the win, which was their third straight on the road. Those road victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 36.7 points over those games. As for Arlington, they are on a seven-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-9.
Looking ahead, Poly will venture away from home to challenge Santiago at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Bears will be up against the Sharks' rather soft defense (which has allowed 29.8 points per game), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance. Arlington does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
