Northview had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They put the hurt on the Green Valley Gators with a sharp 35-10 win on Friday. The victory was all the more spectacular given the Vikings' disadvantage in MaxPreps' football rankings in their respective home states (they are ranked 137th in California, while the Gators are ranked 14th in Nevada).

Northview's win was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Isaiah Lucero, who picked up 117 receiving yards and one score. That's the most receiving yards Lucero has posted since back in September of 2024.
On the other side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Northview's defense and their five sacks. The heavy lifting was done by Jeremiah Alcantara and Andres Rodriguez, who racked up four sacks between them.
Looking ahead, Northview will look to defend their home field on Friday against La Habra at 7:00 p.m. After each having a week off, Green Valley and Palo Verde will shake off the rust and duke it out at 6:00 p.m. on September 5.
