This is sure to be a close game between two evenly matched teams. Don Bosco Prep will need to find a way to slow down the Green Wave’s passing game and force turnovers. Delbarton will need to protect the football and capitalize on their scoring opportunities.
This will be the first matchup between the two teams this season.
