Reedley-Hartnell football

Saturday's game
Reedley (9-0) vs. Hartnell (8-1) at Robobank, 6 p.m.

 Alexis Ramos and Chauncey Jackson are among the state leaders in sacks as Ramos has 11.5 and Johnson 10.5. Hartnell hopes to have speed rusher DeMarcus Hawkins back from a shoulder injury.
 The Panthers defense has forced 24 turnovers this year, with Drew Schuler having recovered three fumbles and Trey Smith a team leading four interceptions.
 The two teams played a nailbitter last year with Hartnell posting a 21-20 win. Dating back to 2015, the Panthers are 18-2 at Rabobank.
