Prep Football Preview: Mount Miguel at Helix

 Mount Miguel Matadors @ Helix Highlanders (October 7, 2011)

Last Meeting: 10/08/10 Mount Miguel 7 @ Helix 34

The Claymore Sword will be on the line when these long time rivals duke it out for East County bragging rights. Helix has been on a roll since losing their season opener to Eastlake. After running through their last three challengers by an average of 30 points, they now have to face what could be their biggest challenge of the season so far. Unbeaten Mount Miguel should come into this game hungry for revenge and ready take over as the premier team in the East County.
