The Dos Palos Broncos will take on the Avenal Buccaneers at 5:30 p.m. on Friday. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.
Avenal is hoping to do what Riverdale couldn't on Monday: put an end to Dos Palos' winning streak, which now stands at four games. Dos Palos put the hurt on Riverdale with a sharp 4-1 win. The score was all tied up 0-0 at the break, but the Broncos were the better team in the second half.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Avenal). Their defense stepped up to hand Wonderful College Prep Academy a 10-0 shutout on Monday. Given the Buccaneers' advantage in MaxPreps' California soccer rankings (they are ranked 326th, while the Lions are ranked 1101st), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Avenal's victory was their seventh straight at home, which pushed their record up to 13-1-4. Those victories came thanks to their defensive effort, having only given up three goals over those seven matches. As for Dos Palos, they are on a roll lately: they've won ten of their last 11 games, which provided a nice bump to their 12-3 record this season.
