Kennedy (7-3) vs. Villa Park (9-1)

7:30 TONIGHT EL MODENA HIGH

Both teams find themselves backpedaling into this game--Villa Park coming off a stinging 14-7 loss to Foothill and Kennedy stumbling in with a two-game losing streak. If the Spartans are going to get back on track, they’ll need to take better care of the ball. Villa Park committed five turnovers against Foothill, including four interceptions against quarterback John Henry Jackson, who had only three coming into the game. Kennedy will need to play the kind of football it did against then second-ranked Los Alamitos in Week 5, losing by only two points.
