The North Sequoia League rivals will square off for a second time this season. Chowchilla defeated the Lions 46-21 on Oct. 9 in a game that was close until the Redskins pulled away late.

Another rematch between league opponents. The Broncos squeaked by the Aztecs 14-13 on Oct. 9 in a West Sierra League game.
