The Nordhoff Rangers will venture away from home to take on the Eastside Lions at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Eastside took a loss in their last match and will be looking to turn the tables on Nordhoff, who comes in off a win.
While Rangers fans will have to keep waiting for their team to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Friday's season opener. They took their contest on the road on Friday with ease, bagging a 35-0 win over View Park. The matchup was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point the Rangers had established a 21 point advantage.
Nordhoff's win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Desi Canfield, who rushed for 146 yards and two touchdowns. The team also got some help courtesy of Jameson Moya, who gained 65 total yards and three touchdowns.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Nordhoff was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 207 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 192 rushing yards in nine consecutive games dating back to last season.
Meanwhile, Eastside took a blow against Mary Star of the Sea on Friday, falling 51-6. The Lions have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Everything came up roses for Nordhoff against Eastside in their previous matchup back in August of 2019 as the squad secured a 56-0 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Nordhoff since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
