The Tri-Cities Prep Jaguars will head out to face off against the La Salle Lightning at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Tri-Cities Prep can't be to happy about their upcoming road contest considering what happened when they opened their season on the away from home on Saturday. They fell to Asotin 34-29. The Jaguars haven't had much luck with the Panthers recently, as the team's come up short the last two times they've met.
Meanwhile, La Salle took care of business in their home opener on Friday (and then some). They took their matchup at home with ease, bagging a 61-22 victory over White Swan. The Lightning pushed the score to 61-16 by the end of the third, a deficit the Cougars cut but never quite recovered from.
La Salle's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Johan Valladares led the charge by rushing for 40 yards and two touchdowns, while also throwing for 71 yards and two touchdowns while completing 100% of his passes. Valladares is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season. Andre Orr was another key back, rushing for 90 yards and two touchdowns.
Orr wasn't the only one working in the rushing yards department: La Salle was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 246 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 228 rushing yards in four consecutive games dating back to last season.
