The South Gate Rams will face off against the Roosevelt Rough Riders at 6:30 p.m. on Friday.
South Gate is headed into the matchup having not lost since December 28 and will look to keep things rolling. They came out on top in a nail-biter against Huntington Park on Wednesday, sneaking past 2-1. Given the Rams' advantage in MaxPreps' California soccer rankings (they are ranked 250th, while the Spartans are ranked 807th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, for the first time since back in December of 2024, Roosevelt was forced to settle for a draw on Monday. They and Garfield finished up their contest with a 1-1 draw. There's a chance things could've gone differently had the Rough Riders not been charged with a red card from Alejandro Santana.
Roosevelt's goal came courtesy of Christopher Salas, who's now up to 12 this season.
South Gate's victory was their seventh straight at home, which pushed their record up to 11-5-3. Roosevelt's draw makes their record 4-9-2 this season.
