The Eureka Loggers will hit the road for the first time this season to take on the Shasta Wolves at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Eureka is leaving town to face Shasta after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. Eureka lost 22-0 to Arcata on Saturday. The Loggers' defeat continues a trend for the squad, making it 11 in a row dating back to last season.
Meanwhile, Shasta is still undefeated this season after their match against Lassen on Friday, but Lassen came as close as anyone has to beating them. Shasta had just enough and edged Lassen out 28-26.
Shasta can attribute much of their success to Justin Polley, who rushed for 106 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 169 yards and a touchdown.
Shasta wouldn't let Lassen keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force three fumbles. It was truly a group effort as Jaden Welch, Brady Negethon, and Arbour Duggan picked up one apiece. Negethon didn't just play on offense: he also forced a fumble and made three total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Eureka and Shasta were almost perfectly matched up in their previous meeting back in September of 2021, but Eureka suffered an agonizing 13-12 loss. Thankfully for Eureka, Braxton Fleming (who rushed for 109 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result?
