Whittell (10-1) and Pahranagat Valley (10-0) face off this Friday at 7:00 PM to determine whose season will come to a close. It should turn out to be a fierce showdown as Pahranagat Valley is ranked 2nd in the MaxPreps state rankings and Whittell is ranked 2nd.
Whittell extended its back-to-back wins into a three-game streak in its previous match. It had all the answers against Eureka last week, winning 42 - 18.
Meanwhile, Pahranagat Valley can now show off nine landslide victories after its most recent game. The final score between it and Tonopah last week was a 44 - 0 blowout in Pahranagat Valley's favor. Sophomore Preston Higbee was especially active in the win, finding the end zone an impressive four times.
The last time they met, Pahranagat Valley was the clear winner with a 46 - 20 finish. This time, their match is expected to be much closer since they have similar MaxPreps state rankings (Whittell at 2nd, Pahranagat Valley at 2nd). This defeat knocked Whittell out of the playoffs, so expect it to come at Pahranagat Valley with a vengeful fire.
