After each having a week off, the Waterford Wildcats and the El Capitan Gauchos will shake off the cobwebs and take on one another at 7:15 p.m. on Friday.
Waterford is coming in off a wild two-game stretch: after soaring to 35 points back in August, they were much more limited against Summerville last Friday. They had to suffer through a 46-12 loss at the hands of the Bears. The loss was the Wildcats' first of the season.
The losing side was boosted by Alex Wolfe, who rushed for 54 yards and two touchdowns.
Meanwhile, while El Capitan put up plenty of points last Friday, the same can't be said for Beyer. El Capitan claimed a resounding 34-0 win over Beyer on the road. The game was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point the Gauchos had established a 27 point advantage.
Lorenzo Peters was nothing short of spectacular: he rushed for 102 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries, and also picked up 40 receiving yards. Anthony Jones also helped with two touchdowns in total.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, El Capitan was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 235 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've posted since back in September of 2023.
El Capitan's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged three passes before it was all said and done. In fact, those interceptions all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Diego Ultreras.
Having lost for the first time this season, Waterford fell to 2-1. As for El Capitan, they now also have a winning record of 2-1.
