Salpointe's Mario Padilla (7) fends off Pueblo's Marcelino Vega (4) on his way to a touchdown run during the second quarter.
Where: 1545 E. Copper Street
Division: 4A
Winner: Last week was all smiles for the Lancers. Head coach Dennis Bene coached his 200th game and the defense set a school record for most shutouts in a season (five) in a 42-0 win over Pueblo. Things will get harder this week. Cactus' defense has 17 sacks, 18 interceptions and nine fumble recoveries this season.Β Can the Cobras make enough plays on the road? It's a tough call, because this game will come down to whoever can make the fewest mistakes. Expect the Lancers to squeak by in a low-scoring game. Call it 24-20.Β Β Β
