Two area high school football teams remain in the championship hunt. This morning, the top-seeded Calaveras Red Hawks (10-2) will take on the Linden Lions (8-4), who defeated the Summerville Bears (9-3) last Friday in a close game, 27-21, in the CIF Sac Joaquin Division 7 bracket. The game is at 9 this morning.
Then on Saturday at 12:30 p.m. in the CIF Sac Joaquin Division 6 bracket, the top-seeded and last year’s champions, the Sonora Wildcats (12-0), will face the 3rd-seeded Ripon Christian (10-2). Last Friday (11/22), the Wildcats ran over the visiting Bradshaw Christian Pride 48-22 to advance to the sectional championships. Sonora is undefeated and poised to earn an unprecedented back-to-back championship. You can hear the Sonora game live on AM 1450 and FM 102.7 KVML. The game is also streamed live on mymotherlode.com.
