Norte Dame-38 Mission Viejo-35
THIS SHOULD BE A GOOD TEST FOR MISSION, BUT IN THE END IT WILL BE TO MUCH DIABLO DEFENSE. THEY HAVE SOME OF THE HARDEST HITTERS I HAVE SEEN ON THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL. THEY MUST PLAY A COMPLETE GAME. DIABLOS 28 – NORTE DAME 14.
The teams Mission have played combine for a .462 winning percentage to date, how good could they really be? They’ve gotten some soft teams so far in the playoffs, so we’ll see how they do against Servite.
SERVITE IS IN TROUBLE AGAINST A MISSION TEAM ON A MISSION. THERE GROUND ATTACK AND DEFENSE ARE JUST TO MUCH FOR TEAMS. IM CALLING IT EARLY 28- 7 MISSION…….
