Christian Brothers Falcons host the Rio Linda Knights in a battle of co-favorites to capture the Capital Valley Conference crown. Tune to Access Sacramento on Comcast or SureWest Cable channel 17 or AT&T U-Verse Channel 99 at 7 p.m. Friday night.
The rushing tandem of HB Marcel Brown and FB Leonard Skattebo spark the Knights who enter play at 5-1, winners of five straight games and currently rated #11 in the latest "Dimino's Dozen" football rankings.
On the flip side, George Petrissans' 19th-ranked Falcons bring a 4-2 mark into the game, and feature the explosive tandem of QB Chris Guillen and RB Mason Stahley who have accounted for 18 touchdowns.
This one will surely materialize into an exciting, intense battle filled with highlight plays; on display in the recently-adorned, and now pristine, Hughes Stadium. Enjoy the view.
