The desert high school football season rolls into Week 3 tonight, and the Game of the Week is already sparking some serious talk. Coachella Valley is heading to Palm Springs, and if last year’s matchup is anything to go by, we are in for a show. Palm Springs was absolutely unstoppable in that game, scoring on every single possession. Can they do it again?
2-0 Records Are On The Line
It is not just about the big rivalry game, either. Three teams are putting their perfect 2-0 records on the line tonight. Rancho Mirage, Indio, and Desert Hot Springs have all been flawless so far, but the schedule makers are not messing around. Each of those teams faces opponents tonight that are going to be a much tougher test than who they played to get to 2-0. This is where we find out what these teams are really made of, you know?
On top of that, Palm Desert and La Quinta are also on the road for some seriously tough matchups. There are nine games on the docket across the desert tonight, all kicking off at 7 p.m. Get ready for some wild Friday night action!
Thursday Night Set The Tone
If Thursday’s results were any indication, we are in for a high scoring Week 3. We saw some huge numbers put up already:
- Notre Dame (Riverside) 44, Cathedral City 16
- Desert Mirage 43, Mendez 0
- Serrano 26, Xavier Prep 21
- Yucaipa 35, Shadow Hills 14
Big wins and some serious blowouts. Tonight, those 2-0 teams Rancho Mirage, Indio, and Desert Hot Springs are trying to keep their streaks alive against tougher competition. Can Palm Springs repeat last year’s absolutely dominant performance against Coachella Valley? We are tracking all the action, so buckle up, because tonight’s games at 7 p.m. are going to tell us a lot about who the real contenders are early in the season.
