On the heels of their first win of the season, the Sacred Heart Knights will host their first true home game this evening against the reigning district champs in Valley Heights.
Sacred Heart bulldozed Pleasanton 29-7 on Saturday, aiding them in improving to 1-2 on the season.
Valley Heights stumbled at Centralia to open their season, but bounced back in strong fashion, defeating Onaga 28-8 in week two, and Doniphan West 33-14 in week three.
The Mustangs have relied on a run-heavy offense, with their lead back, Aiden Unruh, averaging over 12 yards per carry.
Sacred Heart received a huge boost last week with the return of Dom Matteucci to their backfield and secondary.
Matteucci toted the rock 15 times for 61 yards and a score on Saturday, perfectly complimenting Elias Gordon in the ground game.
