Belen will square off against Valencia at 7:00 PM on Friday. Belen will be hoping to continue their now three-game streak of scoring more points each match than the last.
Belen ran circles around Valley last Friday, and the extra yardage (607 yards vs. 223 yards) paid off. Belen made easy work of Valley and carried off a 41-14 win. Senior Diego Casillas, who rushed for 282 yards and 4 touchdowns, was a major factor in Belen's success. This marked the 3rd contest in which Casillas has rushed for over 100 yards.
Meanwhile, after soaring to 48 points the game before, Valencia faltered in their matchup last Friday. They suffered a grim 6-36 defeat to Los Lunas. The state rankings had actually given Valencia a slight edge heading into the game, making this hurt that much more.
Belen were fully in charge the last time the two teams met, breezing past Valencia 55-0. The rematch might be a little tougher for Belen since the team won't have home-field advantage. Watch the game and check back on MaxPreps to see if the change in venue makes a difference.
