One of the most legendary high school gridiron matchups is scheduled to be played on November 9th, 2023 between two powerhouses from Los Angeles. The playoff game between Fairfax High School and Arleta High School is scheduled to be held at Fairfax Stadium for teams that move to the next level.

Fairfax

The Fairfax Rams constitute one of the state’s most successful high school football programmes. The Rams have claimed ten state titles, with the latest one coming in 2022. Fairfax have a strong offenssive and a powerful defence.

With a senior quarterback Brandon Jones, one of the best signal callers in the state leading the Rams. This year, Jones has already accumulated more than three thousand and ten yards and thirty touchdowns. He is a similar threat on the ground as he ran for more than 500 yards and ten touchdowns.

Running backs at fairfield are led by junior Jamal Williams and senior Isaiah Smith. Willams and Smith can make big breaks anytime which is quite possible for them anytime.

Daniel Brown, a senior linebacker and Michael Johnson, a senior defensive lineman, head up the Rams’ defense. Brown tackles like a beast, while Johnson is an impact on pass rush.

Arleta

Another team that has been built around a strong tradition is the mustangs from Arleta. Mustangs currently hold two state titles with the last one in 2021. It is a team characterized by a physical running game and tough defense referred to as Arleta.

David Garcia is a strong runner and is currently leading the pack for the Mustangs. This year, Garcia has run for more than a thousand five hundred meters and twenty touchdowns.

Senior Anthony Lopez is another quarterback, equally talented as Arleta has this one too. This quarterback, known as Lopez, is a dual threat and can defeat teams either with his arm or his legs.

Senior linebacker Carlos Rodriguez while senior defensive line man Antonio Ramirez lead the Mustangs’ defense. The run-stopper in tackles, Rodriguez, comes in tandem with the pass-rushing powerhouse in Ramirez.

Playoff Showdown

Fairfax versus Arleta playoffs promises another epic matchup. These two teams can put up a good fight and go far in the play offs because they are very strong.

Regarding offensive might, the Rams enjoy an upper hand, while the Mustans boast of a strong running play and aggressive Defense.

Whether Fairfax will be able to put a halt on the running game of Arleta will be the essence of the match. The Rams are likely to win if they manage to make the Mustang pass the ball and force their own runs.

Nevertheless, their passing and kicking strategies leave a lot to be desired. But if they develop a solid running game, then it’ll be hard to defeat them.

Prediction

I, therefore, foresee the arleta mustangs losing to the fairlax rams in a tight-wound battle. The Rams enjoy a home-field advantage and an offensive edge. Nevertheless, the Mustangs will not be an easy opponent.

Conclusion

The Fairfax versus Arleta playoff will surely produce an exciting game. These two teams appear equally balanced, which portends well for them as they head into post-season play. The game’s main question is whether Arleta’s running back game will be stopped by Fairfax. This means that if the Rams make him pass the ball, their chances of winning will be higher. Nevertheless, provided that Mustangs prove themselves in running the game, they would be a difficult team to face off.

I am picking Fairfax Ras over Arleta’s Mustangs with it being a close game. They are the ones with a stronger offensive drive and a home field advantage. The Mustangs however are a hard-fought side who won’t lie down easily.
