Tonight the Los Gatos Wildcats will travel to do battle with the Palo Alto Vikings during a game at 7 p.m. at their football field, 50 Embarcadero Rd. in Palo Alto.
When someone asked me why this is such a big rivalry, the answer was really simple. It just seems that for the last six or seven years every time these two teams meet, the winner will go on to win a championship, and I don't think this night will be any different.
Although the Cats, at one time, lead the series 13-1, Palo Alto has evened things up as of late, by splitting the last eight games. The series now stands at 17 to 5.
Since 2005, both teams have won several league, and CCS championships. The Cats would love to make it two in a row over the Vikings tonight.
It should be a great football game between two very talented teams. The Cats are currently tied for first place, undefeated in the league, but Palo Alto is right behind us with only one loss, so it is a big game for both squads.
If you can make it out to Palo Alto you will be treated to some quality football.
Thanks for all the support.
