The Nobles took a blow against the Raiders, falling 42-6. The contest marked the Nobles' lowest-scoring game so far this season.
Meanwhile, Azusa was not able to break out of their rough patch two weeks ago as the team picked up their sixth straight loss dating back to last season. They were five points away from ending the streak, but they lost a 5-0 heartbreaker at the hands of Temple City.

Nogales took their win against Azusa when the teams last played back in October of 2024 by a conclusive 30-7 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Nobles since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
