These two teams, separated by 16 miles down Highway 40, look to renew an old WCC rivalry with their 46th meeting Kurt Darling and the ISC Sports Network will be in town to broadcast the football game live.

The two teams haven’t played since 2015 where the Eagles knocked off the Cadets 45-21. Cascade uses a No-Huddle Wing-T attack on offense and a base 3-4 on defense. Cascade will honor their senior class Friday Night before the game at 6:45 PM. Cascade is looking to get to 6-3 for the first time since 2006. The Cadets are a young group with a bright future ahead with 9 starters on offense and 7 starters on defense being juniors or below. Cascade has had 7 fumbles in the last 4 weeks that has kept points off the scoreboard. Cascade will need to play great defense and run the football in order to have success Friday Night. SO Brady Trebley leads the offense that averages 355 yards per game. Trebley is completing 57% of his passes for 441 yards, 7 touchdowns and has zero interceptions on the year. Trebley also adds 3 rushing touchdowns on the ground. Trebley jumped into 4th place all time in passing touchdowns with his 17th of his career last week surpassing Chase Edwards at 16. He looks to settle in and continue to be the leader of the no-huddle wing-t attack as the Cadets compete against South Putnam in week 9. FR Rhyder Williams will serve as the back-up quarterback for the Cadets. Multiple running backs will look to carry the rock. SO Toby Savini leads the backfield with 782 yards, averaging 11 yards per rush and a team high 12 touchdowns. Toby Savini topped 1,000 yards for his career against Owen Valley. SR Damien Appleby added 499 yards, averaging 7.1 yards per carry and 7 touchdowns. Appleby surpassed the 1,000 yard mark for his career. SO Dayton Mink 430 yards with 7 touchdowns and SR Caiden Clements has 321 yards for 3 touchdowns.

SO JT Roshong leads this group with 3 catches for 57 yards and 1 touchdown. JR Daemen Mason had 3 catches for 30 yards. SO Marcus Hobson came up with the lone touchdown reception last week for his first touchdown of his varsity career. Tight ends will look to be both physical blockers and pass catchers at the tight end position. Both played a vital role in the success of the rush attack, but also in the play action pass. FR Trent Austin has hauled 7 catches for 104 yards and 2 touchdowns averaging 15 yards per reception. Four Juniors continue to anchor the offensive line for Cascade. The offensive line averages in weight a combined 200lbs. Last week, the Cadets only managed 234 yards of offense against Monrovia. This group has led the way to a total of 2,839 total yards and 41 touchdowns through eight games. The offense averages 39.1 points per game. The defensive line will look to bounce back after giving up 608 yards to rival Monrovia with 573 coming on the ground. JR Duncan White leads the defensive line up front with 24 tackles, 9.0 TFL, 3 sacks and 1 forced fumble. They will need to plug holes and use their speed to contain the Eagles No Huddle Spread offense which averages over 416 yards per game. The linebacking group will look to anchor the 2nd level defense. SR Jacob Potts and SR Brayden Cartmel have combined for 108 tackles and 13 tackles for a loss. SR Jackson Cornelius came off the bench and piled up 36 tackles and 5 tackles for a loss. Three Seniors lead this group and will look to play aggressive and fill the gaps against South Putnam. The defensive backs will be up for the challenge this week against one of the top passers in 1A football. This group is the youngest on the team with 3 sophomores and 1 freshmen starting. FR Lucas Farmer leads the entire defense with 66 tackles and has only played in 7 games. SO Toby Savini added in 50 tackles, 1 interception, 2 fumble recoveries and 1 fumble recovery for a 70 yard touchdown last week. SO Marcus Hobson, SO JT Roshong and JR Daemen Mason will look to lock down the corner spots and limit the heavy pass attack that averages 229 yards per game.
