The Hoopa Valley Warriors are headed away from home for the first time to challenge the South Fork Cubs at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.
Last Friday, Hoopa Valley was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap as they fell 26-20 to Etna.
Despite the defeat, Hoopa Valley got top-tier performance from Brandon Romero, who picked up 105 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Meanwhile, South Fork had to hit the road for their first game and it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They lost 36-14 to Fort Bragg on Friday. The Cubs' loss signaled the end of their six-game winning streak dating back to last season.
Hoopa Valley beat South Fork 28-20 in their previous meeting back in September of 2023. One of the biggest obstacles the team faced in that game was South Fork's Wesley Way, who rushed for 187 yards while picking up 9.4 yards per carry, and also picked up 36 receiving yards. Now that he's got a second chance to win this matchup, will Hoopa Valley still be able to contain Way? There's only one way to find out.
