Why this one matters

The two Central Valley programs renew a cross-town-ish rivalry in a nonleague tilt. Their last meeting came on Sept. 2, 2022, at Caruthers, when the Blue Raiders edged the Eagles, 27-21 — a close game that sets the stage for another tight contest. With so little separating these programs in the most recent head-to-head, expect a physical, grind-it-out Friday night in Firebaugh.
