Yoncalla is preparing for their first league matchup of the season on Friday. They will look to take advantage of their home field for the first time this season as they take on the Country Christian Cougars at 7:00 p.m. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.
Yoncalla is coming home looking for redemption after taking a loss in their road opener. The matchup between the Eagles and Riddle didn't end well, with the Eagles falling 40-24. The Eagles haven't had much luck with the Irish recently, as the team has come up short the last three times they've met.
Yoncalla's defeat came about despite a quality game from Ian Holmes, who rushed for 90 yards and one TD on only 12 carries, and also threw for 115 yards and a pair of touchdowns. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 71 yards. A healthy portion of that aerial production (86 yards to be exact) went to Jayden Churchwell.
Meanwhile, Country Christian had to suffer through a 66-12 loss at the hands of Perrydale.
