After each having a week off, the Chavez Titans and the Granite Bay Grizzlies will shake off the cobwebs and hit the field against one another at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

The Titans never let the Delta Kings get on the board and left with a 42-0 victory two weeks ago. The game was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point the Titans had established a 28-point advantage.
