The Immanuel Eagles will venture away from home to challenge the Reedley Pirates at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
Immanuel is headed into Tuesday's following a draw, the team's first since December 17. They and Sierra Pacific finished up on equal footing with a 0-0 draw on Thursday.

Meanwhile, Reedley came tearing into Thursday's game with five straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 2.2 goals) and they left with even more momentum. Their defense stepped up to hand the Lions a 3-0 shutout. Given the Pirates' advantage in MaxPreps' California soccer rankings (they are ranked 68th, while the Lions are ranked 442nd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Reedley hit Kerman with a three-pronged attack, as the team got scores from Juan Rico, Jose Duenas, and Angel Ceja.

Immanuel suffered a grim 4-0 defeat to Reedley when the teams last played two weeks ago. Can Immanuel avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
