The Orosi Cardinals will hit the road for the first time this season to square off against the Immanuel Eagles at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Last Friday, Orosi didn't have quite enough to beat Reedley and fell 24-22.
Meanwhile, Immanuel never let their opponents score last Friday. They took their game at home with ease, bagging a 48-0 win over Kern Valley. Given the Eagles' advantage in MaxPreps' California football rankings (they are ranked 406th, while the Broncs are ranked 915th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
This one was won in the trenches and the lion's share of the credit has to go to Balton King and he. King rushed for 110 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries while he rushed for 110 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries. That's the most rushing yards Jackson Leibee has posted since back in September of 2023.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Immanuel was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 249 rushing yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Kern Valley only rushed for 28.
Orosi's loss dropped their record down to 0-2. As for Immanuel, the victory made it two in a row for them and bumps their season record up to 2-0.
Orosi took a serious blow against Immanuel in their previous meeting back in October of 2015, falling 53-0. Thankfully for Orosi, Kyle Dunigan (who rushed for 127 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 7.1 yards per carry) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result?
