Menlo School is on a three-game streak of home wins, while Wilcox is on a seven-game streak of away wins (dating back to last season): one of those streaks is about to end. After each having a week off, the two teams will shake off the cobwebs and face off against one another at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.
Last Saturday, Menlo School made easy work of Miramonte and carried off a 31-7 victory. The 31-point effort marked the Knights' lowest-scoring match of the season, but in the end it didn't matter.
It was another big night for Jack Freehill, who threw for 275 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 34 yards and a touchdown. Chuck Wynn was another key player, gaining 116 total yards and a touchdown.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Wilcox). They really took it to Santa Clara for the full four quarters, racking up a 42-0 win on the road. With that victory, the Chargers brought their scoring average up to 27.8 points per game.
Wilcox's win two weeks ago was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Kai Imahara, who threw for 144 yards and two touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes. Elijah Vallejo helped Imahara out on the ground, rushing for 70 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries.
Wilcox wouldn't let Santa Clara keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Wilcox can thank Adrian Aguilar and Gilbert Padilla for forcing both of them. Wilcox got some further help from Nicolas Hernandez: he made 14 total tackles (3.5 for loss).
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Wilcox was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 323 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 163 rushing yards in six consecutive matchups dating back to last season.
Menlo School's win bumped their record up to 5-0. As for Wilcox, they now have a winning record of 3-2.
Menlo School took a serious blow against Wilcox when the teams last played back in November of 2021, falling 54-20. Thankfully for Menlo School, Kemauri Glenn (who rushed for 208 yards and four touchdowns on only 11 carries, and also caught a touchdown) won't be suiting up this time.
