Two dominant signal callers in Timmy Herr and Cash O'Byrne are getting ready to go toe-to-toe. The San Juan Hills Stallions will venture away from home to challenge the Tesoro Titans at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (San Juan Hills has six straight wins, Tesoro has four straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
Last Thursday, San Juan Hills took their match with ease, bagging a 42-10 victory over Villa Park. The Stallions might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won five games by 21 points or more this season.
San Juan Hills can attribute much of their success to Elijah Ayala, who rushed for 142 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries, and Herr, who threw for 176 yards and two touchdowns. Ayala got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 80 yards.
San Juan Hills was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 208 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've posted since back in October of 2023.
Meanwhile, a win for Tesoro just wasn't in the cards on Friday as the team wasn't able to take the lead at any point. They were outmatched by Corona del Mar on the road and fell 44-14. The Titans were already down big by the end of the third quarter and they stayed that way after failing to score in the fourth.
The loss doesn't tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was Braiden Vaca, who picked up 133 receiving yards and a touchdown. Vaughn Steinert was another key player, throwing for 185 yards and two touchdowns.
San Juan Hills pushed their record up to 8-1 with the victory, which was their eighth straight on the road dating back to last season. As for Tesoro, their loss dropped their record down to 3-6.
San Juan Hills came out on top in a nail-biter against Tesoro in their previous meeting back in September of 2023, sneaking past 27-24. The rematch might be a little tougher for San Juan Hills since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
