The Fowler Redcats will head out to square off against the Chowchilla Tribe at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Fowler has given up an average of 27.3 points per game this season, but Friday's game will give them a chance to turn things around.
Fowler is headed into the contest out to prove that what happened against Liberty on Friday (when they were outscored in every quarter) was just a minor bump in the road. The Redcats took a blow against the Hawks, falling 55-14. While losing is never fun, the Redcats can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' California football rankings (they are ranked 745th, while the Hawks are ranked 212th).
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Chowchilla). They breezed past Riverdale to the tune of 54-0 on Friday. The victory was familiar territory for the Tribe, who have now won three matchups in a row.
Chowchilla's win came from a few key players Fowler will need to keep an eye on. One of the most notable was Tristan Beardsley, who rushed for 16 yards and one score, and also threw for 77 yards and one touchdown. His passing game has become a key predictor of Chowchilla's success: the team is undefeated when his passer rating is 100 or higher, but only 1-2 otherwise. Sean Hadley also helped with two TDs in total.
Chowchilla was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 382 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've posted since back in November of 2024.
One reason for the win was Chowchilla's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for four sacks. Paul Miranda was especially locked on to Riverdale's QB and sacked him twice.
Chowchilla's win bumped their record up to 4-2. As for Fowler, their loss dropped their record down to 2-4.
Fowler might still be hurting after the 55-29 defeat they got from Chowchilla in their previous matchup back in October of 2024. Thankfully for the Redcats, Davian Stephenson (who rushed for 290 yards and five touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also threw for 87 yards and one TD while completing 85.7% of his passes) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
