Moorpark is going through its pregame warm up for tonight's CIF Northern Division semifinal against Valencia. It figures to be a tight contest, one where a field goal kicker's ability to hit a kick late in the game might determine the outcome.
If that is the case, Moorpark might be in pretty good shape. Kickers Steven Picchini and Brenden Daley have been trading turns making kicks, a lot from as far as 45 yards out. If one of these two kickers can make a few of those during the contest, it could spell victory for the Muskateers.
Valencia has been scoring a ton of points during the playoffs, so it will be interesting to see how they move the ball against a vert talented Moorpark defense.

An hour before Santa Paula's game with Grace Brethren, Cardinal fans had already packed the stands in anticipation of Friday night's game. It's been a few years since Santa Paula has had a chance to win an outright league title and it's evident by the buzz in the stands that fans and students are eager to see if their team can accomplish that goal. Regardless of what happens tonight, fans are excited about seeing their team compete in this year's CIF-SS playoffs.
