RIVERSIDE NORTE VISTA (1-0 overall, 1-0 River Valley League) ran 27 plays for 442 rushing yards and nine touchdowns in its season opener last week. So yeah, we think the Braves can pick up anywhere on the calendar and just pound the rock down the field. Doesn’t matter if it’s the Ides of March, Mother’s Day, 4th of July or Christmas Day, its Run Power Option all day, every day.
HEAD COACH: Ken Batdorf
ROSTER – QB: Javiar Moctezuma, Jr. (5-foot-8, 150 pounds); RB: Eddie Allain, Jr. (5-10, 175); RB: Jessie Carvajal, Jr. (5-8, 185); TE: Brian Rodriguez, Sr., (6-1, 180); C/DT: Andrew Garcia, Sr. (6-foot, 320); OL/DL: Adan Rodriguez, Sr. (6-3, 290); DT: Carlos Maravilla, Sr. (6-1, 290); MLB: Noah Wilson, Sr. (5-11, 210); CB/WR: Isaac Gaines, Jr. (5-9, 170)

RIVERSIDE RAMONA (1-0 overall, 1-0 River Valley League) had good offensive balance in its season opener last week, gaining 160 rushing yards while senior QB Diego Muniz completed 8 of 10 attempts for 154 yards. Most of it was in the first, however, after the Rams went up early and effectively played keep away on the way to a 21-8 win. The opponent gets much, much tougher this week.
HEAD COACH: Ken Mushinskie
ROSTER – QB: Diego Muniz, Sr. (6-foot, 165 pounds); RB/CB: Steven Castaneda, Sr. (5-6, 165); WR: Adrian Monje, Sr. (5-10, 155); WR/OLB: Adam McDaniels, Sr. (5-10, 175); DE: Ika Esau, Sr. (6-4, 245); OLB/WR: Isaiah Reyes, Sr. (5-10, 185); MLB: Christian Romo, Sr. (5-6, 165); P: Elroy Lambey, Sr. (6-1, 165)

THE DIFFERENCE:
Talent levels are pretty high on both these teams, so it’ll likely come down to turnovers and/or forced mistakes.

THE FINAL SCORE (PROJECTED):
Norte Vista 31, Ramona 23
