Redskins take on the Panthers' aerial circus

After suffering two straight losses, the Chowchilla Redskins got back to their winning ways trouncing Sierra-Tollhouse 35-0 to set up an epic matchup Friday against one of the most prolific passing attacks in the section when the Washington Union-Easton Panthers invade Henry Massaro Stadium.

These two teams could not be any different: The Redskins' double-wing, smash-mouth, grind out yards on the ground offensive attack against the Panthers and star quarterback Adam McCurley, whose aerial heroics make him one of the most dynamic offensive threats in the section.

In the win over Sierra, Chowchilla racked up 302 yards on the ground led by Matt Ruckman with 118 and Garrett Slate with 98. And the Redskin defense was just as solid, holding Sierra to just 94 yards rushing and 149 yards of total offense.

Meanwhile, the Panthers are coming off a surprisingly difficult game against the Liberty Hawks, squeezing out a hard-fought 14-6 win with McCurley throwing for just 216 yards and rushing for 77 while gaining 346 yards of total offense.
