The Reedley Pirates will square off against the Immanuel Eagles at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Reedley is coming into the game hot, having won their last six games.
Reedley's defense heads into the contest hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Thursday. Everything went their way against Kerman as Reedley made off with a 3-0 win. 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.
Meanwhile, for the first time since back in December of 2024, Immanuel was forced to settle for a draw on Thursday. Neither they nor Sierra Pacific could gain the upper hand so the two teams had to settle for a 0-0 draw. The outcome might've been different if Victor Rodriguez hadn't been hit with a yellow card, which no doubt limited his ability to make aggressive plays down the stretch.
Reedley pushed their record up to 13-3-4 with the victory, which was their sixth straight on the road. Those victories came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 19 goals over those six matches. Immanuel's draw makes their record 9-5-2 this season.
Everything went Reedley's way against Immanuel in their previous meeting two weeks ago, as Reedley made off with a 4-0 win. Does Reedley have another victory up their sleeve, or will Immanuel turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
