The Delta Saints will face off against the Denair Coyotes at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Delta is strutting in with some offensive muscle as they've averaged 31.5 points per game this season.
Delta took a loss when they played away from home two weeks ago, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed on Friday. They walked away with a 28-20 victory over Foresthill.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Delta to victory, but perhaps none more so than Chase Parkinson, who rushed for 65 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries, and also threw for 214 yards and a touchdown. Those 65 rushing yards gave Parkinson a new career-high. 144 of Parkinson's passing yards were hauled in by Max Danila, who also brought in a receiving touchdown.
Delta didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. In fact, those interceptions all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Danila. His receiving production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 117 receiving yards. Delta got some further help from Myles Whitney: he picked up a sack, made five total tackles (3.0 for loss), and defended a pass.
