The Alta Loma Braves are taking a road trip to challenge the Los Osos Grizzlies at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, both will really light up the scoreboard.
Alta Loma took a loss when they played away from home last Friday, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed on Friday. They blew past Redlands East Valley 41-12 at home. The win was a breath of fresh air for the Braves as it put an end to their six-game losing streak dating back to last season.
Alta Loma's win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Derrick Knowden-Williams, who rushed for 69 yards and three touchdowns on only nine carries. Alta Loma also got a significant boost from Izaih Brown, who ran away from the competition to the tune of 113 yards.
On the other side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Alta Loma's defense and their nine sacks. Nelson Alverado Alvarado was especially locked on to Redlands East Valley's QB and sacked him 2.5 times. Alvarado also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, picking up 2.5 sacks and making four total tackles. Alta Loma got some further help from Owen Fiorenza: he picked up a sack and made 11 total tackles (1.0 for loss).
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Alta Loma was moving up and down the field and finished the game with 486 total yards. That's the most total yards they've posted since was before the start of last season.
Meanwhile, even if it wasn't a dominant performance, Los Osos beat Don Lugo 32-28 on Friday.
Alta Loma was dealt a bruising 35-7 loss at the hands of Los Osos in their previous matchup back in September of 2023. Thankfully for Alta Loma, Mason Overacker (who rushed for 75 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, and also threw for 196 yards and three touchdowns) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
