The Foothill Tech Dragons will take on the Agoura Chargers in a holiday battle at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Foothill Tech's offense has struggled lately (the team hasn't scored more than a single goal for five straight games), a trend the team is no doubt ready to end.
Foothill Tech took a five-goal defeat the last time they faced off against Santa Paula, but this time they managed to keep it close and that made all the difference. The Dragons' defense stepped up to hand the Cardinals a 1-0 shutout on Wednesday. The win was all the more spectacular given Foothill Tech's disadvantage in MaxPreps' California soccer rankings (they are ranked 739th, while Santa Paula are ranked 331st).
Meanwhile, while Agoura scored more goals than they have all season, the final result was a bit underwhelming. Neither they nor Royal could gain the upper hand on Tuesday so the two teams had to settle for a 2-2 draw. The result (or lack thereof) was the first time Agoura have been dealt a draw since back in November.
Agoura's draw makes their record 0-2-2 this season. As for Foothill Tech, their victory (their first of the season) made their record 1-4.
Foothill Tech might still be hurting after the 3-0 loss they got from Agoura in their previous meeting back in January of 2018. Will the Dragons have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more soccer content.
