Coming off their most impressive victory of the season against Damonte Ranch last week, the Hillmen will look to continue their winning ways against Rio Americano tonight at 7:30 pm in this year’s homecoming game. The Hillmen (3-0) have been clicking on both sides of the ball through three games. Offensively they are racking up an average of over 510 yards per game (202 passing and 308 rushing) thanks in large part to a offensive line which has been dominating opponents at the line of scrimmage, giving Marcus Ante plenty of time to throw, and also opening up holes for the running backs. Ante has been impressive all season long (607 yards, 8 touchdowns and 0 interceptions). Owen Scott (456 total yards, 5 touchdowns), Waylen Cozad (205 yards rushing, 2 touchdowns), and Jared Halbert (185 yards rushing, 3 touchdowns), are all coming off of their best performances of the season. Derek Haney (142 yards, 2 touchdowns), Joe Robinson (108 yards, two touchdowns) and Ryan Huston (68 yards receiving, 1 touchdown) have all made solid contributions as well. The defense is coming off their stiffest challenge of the season, a game which saw them keep a very talented offense in check. Defensive Ends Logan Crawford (17 tackles, 3 TFL, 3 sacks), and Michael Downen (22 tackles, 5 TFL, 3 sacks) , which have been relentless this season, along with interior lineman Jacob Capra, and Simeon Engle (1 sack apiece), and Diego Lopez, put consistent pressure on the quarterback last week, especially late in the game. In the secondary, cornerback Anthony Pierce had his best game of the season last week, with several nice plays, including a big hit. Kickoff is set for 7:30 pm with the JV starting at 5:15.
