This week we take on Banning High School who is known for a history of great teams in the past. They used to be a perennial powerhouse back then, but first we don't plan on taking them lightly or underestimating what they are capable of.

Simply, we plan to come out and EXECUTE on both sides of the ball. If we do execute we will get what we want, which is to win the ball game.
