The Holy Family Tigers will face off against the Roosevelt Roughriders at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Both come into the match bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Holy Family is headed out to face Roosevelt after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they were looking for. Holy Family took their contest at home on Thursday with ease, bagging a 41-6 win over Northridge. The victory was nothing new for the Tigers as they're now sitting on 11 straight dating back to last season.
Holy Family's success was spearheaded by the efforts of Monte Samaras, who threw for 156 yards and three touchdowns on only 13 passes, and Anthony Scott, who rushed for 156 yards and a touchdown.
Samaras wasn't the only one working in the rushing yards department: Holy Family was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 280 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've posted since back in August of 2023.
Meanwhile, Roosevelt had to kick off their season on the road on Saturday, but they showed no ill effects. They came out on top against Northfield by a score of 28-20.
Luc Vigil was nothing short of spectacular: he rushed for 192 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 12.0 yards per carry. Speaking of playmakers, who could forget Milo Pascual, who went all the way with a kickoff return for a touchdown.
Another reason for the win was Roosevelt's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for three sacks. Noel Sanchez was especially locked on to Northfield's QB and sacked him twice. Sanchez's also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up two sacks, forcing a fumble, and making nine total tackles (2.5 for loss).
Holy Family came up short against Roosevelt in their previous matchup back in September of 2023, falling 34-26. Can Holy Family avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
