#7 Madison Warhawks (2-2) at #3 Granite Hills Eagles (4-0)
Madison, having endured two consecutive losses, is coming off a bye week. Their offensive leaders, quarterback Ryley Parenteau and running back Jaylon Brown, are poised to ignite the Warhawks against one of the top defenses in the county. Granite Hills enters this matchup on a 14-game winning streak. Freshman quarterback Zachary Benitez put up 640 passing yards and 5 scores, while running backs Max Turner and Isaiah "Pablo" Jackson formed a dynamic duo, racking up over 700 total yards and 11 touchdowns combined. Wide receiver Brenden Lewis has also been a pivotal target with 18 receptions this season.
