Marshall gets its quickest and toughest shot at getting back into the Mission Valley League race.
The Eagles (4-2, 1-1) travel to take on Arroyo (6-1, 3-0) against a Knights team that has allowed just 27 total points in their three MVL games thus far.
Not only has Arroyo won its three MVL games, they’ve beaten the next best teams in league (El Monte, South El Monte and Rosemead).
“We have to (try and) play flawless football,” Marshall coach Scott Faer said. “We can’t have stupid penalties or put the ball on the ground like we have the last couple of weeks. Arroyo is fundamentally sound and just play good team football.”
DJ Paul, Jonathon Frimpong and Andrew Kanamu all gained over 100 yards in last week’s victory over Mountain View, and they’ll need to repeat that on Friday if an upset is in order.
“Our speed guys have to hit a couple home runs,” Faer said. (On defense) “We can’t give up the home run ball and have to make them earn every touchdown. We have to make them nickel-and-dime us down the field.”

Arroyo (6-1 overall, 3-0 in league)
El Monte (4-3, 2-1)
Rosemead (2-5, 2-1)
