The Boron Bobcats will challenge the Arvin Bears at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Boron will be strutting in after a win while Arvin will be coming in after a loss.
While Bobcats fans will have to keep waiting for their team to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Friday's season opener. They took down Bishop Montgomery 44-28 last Friday. The Bobcats pushed the score to 36-14 by the end of the third, a deficit the Knights cut but never quite recovered from.
Andrew Gartica had an outrageously good game as he rushed for 201 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also picked up 42 receiving yards. His longest rush was for an impressive 52 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total. Israel Flores was in the mix as well, providing Boron with two touchdowns touchdowns.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Boron was moving up and down the field and finished the game with 406 total yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Bishop Montgomery only gained 286.
Meanwhile, it's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 56-13, which was the final score in Arvin's tilt against Shafter on Thursday. While losing is never fun, the Bears can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' California football rankings (they are ranked 797th, while the Generals are ranked 170th).
Boron was taken down by Arvin 35-6 in their previous matchup back in September of 2022. That match was all but decided by halftime, at which point Boron was down 21-0.
