KSRO Friday Night Lights
Casa Grande has won three of their last four games to get into the playoffs and have a home game. The host the Redwood Giants who sit at 8-2. A difference in this game could be the offense. Redwood has averaged 50 points a game, and 430 yards a game.
Nick Calzaretta has averaged 218 yards on the ground for the Giants. For Casa Grande, they’ll have to hold down Calzaretta and their quarterback, Trevor Foehr who can run and throw. Travis Voight and Tommy Luchese will have to lead their defense in anchoring down against a potent offense like this.
