The California Grizzlies's road trip will continue as they head out to face the San Ramon Valley Wolves at 7:15 p.m. on Friday. One thing working in California's favor is that they have posted at least 31 points every time they've taken the field this season.
Last Friday, California was fully in charge, breezing past Livermore 42-14 on the road. Given the Grizzlies' advantage in MaxPreps' California football rankings (they are ranked 94th, while the Cowboys are ranked 418th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
The match pitted two dominant backs against one another in Jhadis Luckey and Kamarri Robinson. Luckey had a great game and rushed for 212 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries. Meanwhile, Robinson was balling out in the loss, rushing for 141 yards on only 14 carries, while also catching a touchdown.

Rhett Thompson continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, throwing for 206 yards and five touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
Another reason for the win was San Ramon Valley's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for six sacks. Granada's QB won't forget Kaleb Pleis anytime soon given he sacked him three times.
