PREVIEW

The Otay Ranch Mustangs (2-3) are coming into the home of the Cathedral Catholic Dons (4-1) Friday night hoping to upset the MaxPreps’ 21st-ranked team in the country.

The Mustangs are wrapping up a tough three-game stretch where they’ve lost to St. Augustine and last week to an undefeated Steele Canyon team by seven points with a late opportunity at the end zone.

The key players on offense for the Mustangs are quarterback Paco Puentes running back DJ Meno.

Defensively, Keith Robinson looks to carry the momentum from his two-interception game last week into this week’s matchup with the Dons.

Cathedral has more than impressed this season by beating two of the perennial best programs on the west coast in Saguaro and Centennial. The only blemish on their record this far has come by the hands of a consistently talented Helix program.

Between the ground and the air, quarterback DJ Ralph has put up 712 yards and eight total touchdowns so far this season. Meanwhile, runningback Zavien Watson has rushed for 727 yards with 10 total touchdowns to his name so far.

The Dons have an overall very talented defensive group, as well. Outside of their games against two powerhouse offensive teams in Centennial and Helix, the Dons are yet to give up more than 10 points in a single game. In fact, they held the second-ranked team in Arizona, Saguaro, to only 10 points.
