San Manuel Miner
The Miners football team won its fourth straight game last Friday at Canyon State Academy, defeating the Rams, 27 – 26.
The schedule gets decidedly more challenging for the Miners as the season winds down, starting with this week’s game against 13th-ranked Pusch Ridge Christian Academy.
The Lions, who defeated sixth-ranked San Tan Foothills on the road last week, are considered by many to be the favorites to win the sectional championship and the accompanying automatic berth in the state playoffs.
The Miners, however, will have something to say about the sectional championship and can make their own claim for the title win a win over the Lions.
The Miners play three of their final four games at home, including both against the teams ranked ahead of them in the AIA Power Points rankings – Pusch Ridge and San Tan Foothills.
Friday’s game is scheduled for 6:00 p.m.
