Be Sure 2 Watch:
Campo Defense: The Cougar defense has been known to be very fast and aggressive. Campo has some pretty hard hitters in the secondary and can make a play when needed. Anthony Fadelli is explosive on kick returns and as a safety. As a unit, this defense has the gifted ability for everyone to read the play and know exactly what's going on offensively. This defense can fly all over the place and can follow the ball extremely well. In their first four games, they surrendered an average of just 10.75 points per game.
Miramonte Offense: The Matadors will make your head spin with their quick speed and amazing agility. In their three-game win streak to open the season, the Mats put up an average of 37 points per game. Trevor Boswell has a powerful arm and can execute at just the right time with his talented group of receivers. This Cougar defense is their first test, and just the test they need.
Overall
This rivalry has had its ups and down for both teams. If you flash back to two years ago, Miramonte hadn't lost to Campo in 15 years and stormed into Cougar Stadium looking to make it 16. But as time expired, Scott Scharff hit Luke Crossley in the back of the end zone, and Jimmy Adranly added the PAT to end the 15-year drought for the Cougars. The next year, Campo went into Orinda and literally stomped the Mats 30-7. This year, however, is different. Both teams are desperate, and both teams really want this kind of win to show up on their schedule. With College Park out of DFAL this year, the only team standing in anyone's way is Las Lomas. In rivalry games, anything can happen, and anything will happen.
