The Soledad Aztecs are headed away from home for the first time to face off against the Gonzales Spartans at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
Soledad is leaving town to face Gonzales after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. Soledad was beaten by Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory 42-0 on Friday. While losing is never fun, the Aztecs can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' California football rankings (they are ranked 724th, while the Fightin' Irish are ranked 307th).
Meanwhile, Gonzales had to kick off their season on the road on Saturday, but they showed no ill effects. They strolled past Rancho San Juan with points to spare, taking the game 14-0.
Soledad came up short against Gonzales in their previous meeting back in September of 2023, falling 20-13. Thankfully for Soledad, Juan P. Ayala (who threw for 199 yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 53 yards on only seven carries) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
