Quick overview

The El Diamante Miners travel to Hanford for a nonleague junior-varsity matchup Friday night. Both teams enter the game 0-0 as they open this early-season slate. Hanford will host at Hanford High School, while El Diamante makes the short trip from Visalia trying to bounce back and establish a ground game and defensive identity early in the season.

Last meeting and storyline

The teams last met on Oct. 4, 2019, at Groppetti Stadium, a classic tight game that ended with Hanford edging El Diamante 34-30. (Box score and recap: https://scorebooklive.com/california/football/games/212231-el-diamante-vs-hanford.) That finish gives this weekend’s matchup a little extra bite for both rosters and the local fans watching.
