Mountain Empire is hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 39.33 points per game. They will challenge El Cajon Valley on the road at 7 p.m. ET on Friday. Both of these teams will be looking for a pick-me-up after considerable defeats in their previous games.
The Red hawks found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unpleasant 42-13 punch to the gut against Vincent Memorial last week. Jericho Brennan and Khaliel Whitehead were two go-getters for Mountain Empire despite the defeat. The former rushed for 83 yards and one TD on ten carries, while the latter rushed for 69 yards and one TD on five carries. Whitehead didn't help his team much against Holtville three weeks ago, so this was a nice turnaround for him.
Meanwhile, it's never fun to lose, and it even less fun to lose 42-7, which was the final score in El Cajon Valley's tilt against Santana. The result was totally at odds with the teams' rankings as the Braves enjoy a hefty spot advantage.
With the two teams each stumbling in off of a loss, both will be hungry for the victory. We'll see which team satisfies their hunger and which team leaves with an empty stomach.
