Sunnyside's head coach Roy Lopez talks to his Blue Devils after their 25-13 win against Rincon at Sunnyside High School, Friday, Oct. 14, 2016, in Tucson, Ariz. Kelly Presnell / Arizona Daily Star

Matchup: Nogales (4-6) at SUNNYSIDE (4-6)

When: Thursday, 7 p.m.

Where: 1725 E. Bilby Rd., Tucson

Sunnyside is on a mission in its second season under head coach Roy Lopez, who is eight wins away from reaching 100 career victories as a head coach. The Blue Devils lost in Nogales 19-18 last season and Lopez called the game a complete β€œmess” from weather conditions in which AIA almost postponed the game until the next morning. With Sunnyside opening its season at home, and with motivation from last year's one-point defeat, expect a win. Sunnyside takes this one, 28-14.
