The Chavez Titans will play host again on Thursday to welcome the South Spartans, where kickoff is scheduled at 7:30 p.m.
Chavez's offense might be in the hot seat on Thursday considering what happened against Centennial on Friday. They were dealt a 35-0 defeat at the hands of the Golden Hawks. While losing is never fun, the Titans can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' California football rankings (they are ranked 846th, while the Golden Hawks are ranked 218th).
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask South). They enjoyed a cozy 38-23 victory over Atascadero on Friday. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Spartans.
Josh Encinas continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, rushing for 125 yards and three touchdowns on only 13 carries, while also throwing for 164 yards and two touchdowns.
He was just one part of a punishing run game: South was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 295 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've managed all season.
South's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged two passes before it was all said and done. The picks came courtesy of Gyrell Hasley and Uriah Tingling.
Chavez's loss dropped their record down to 0-4. As for South, they pushed their record up to 3-1 with that win, which was their fifth straight on the road dating back to last season.
Chavez might still be hurting after the 32-6 defeat they got from South when the teams last played back in August of 2017. Can Chavez avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
