The Arrowhead Christian Eagles will square off against the Grace Lancers at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday.
Arrowhead Christian can't be to happy about their upcoming road matchup considering what happened when they opened their season on the away from home on Saturday. They fell just short of Yucca Valley by a score of 21-19.
Despite their loss, Arrowhead Christian saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. Max Hilliard, who rushed for 147 yards while picking up 8.6 yards per carry, was perhaps the best of all. Hilliard's longest rush was for an incredible 80 yards.
Meanwhile, you can't lose the match if you win every quarter, and that was precisely Grace's strategy against Santa Rosa Academy on Friday. Given that consistent dominance, it should come as no surprise that Grace blew Santa Rosa Academy out of the water with a 42-6 final score. The Lancers pushed the score to 35-6 by the end of the third, a deficit the Rangers had little chance of recovering from.
Ethan Lasecla had a dynamite game for Grace, rushing for 165 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 9.2 yards per carry, and also throwing for 202 yards and a touchdown. A healthy portion of that aerial production (111 yards to be exact) went to Aidan Kolesar.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Grace was moving up and down the field and finished the game with 452 total yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Santa Rosa Academy only gained 287.
Arrowhead Christian didn't have too much breathing room in their contest against Grace in their previous meeting back in September of 2023, but they still walked away with a 34-28 win. One of the biggest obstacles the team faced in that game was Lasecla, who rushed for 108 yards and three touchdowns, and also threw for 185 yards and a touchdown. Now that he's got a second chance to win this matchup, will Arrowhead Christian still be able to contain Lasecla? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
