High School Football Preview: Wilson vs. Millikan

JJ FiddlerComments Off on High School Football Preview: Wilson vs. Millikan

Both Wilson and Millikan need a win in the Moore League football regular season finale tonight at Wilson. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.

The Bruins (8-1, 4-1) can clinch second place in league and a top-four seed in CIF Southern Section Division 7 with a victory. The Rams (3-6, 2-3) can increase their chances of an at-large bid into the Division 6 postseason with an upset.

Wilson has scored more than 40 points in each of its last six wins, and has only allowed 15.4 points per game. Millikan snapped its three-game losing streak at Cabrillo last week.

Last year, Millikan stopped a possible game-winning two-point conversion in the final minute to beat Wilson and take second place in league.
