Burbank Travels Across the Columbia to Play Finley
Football+Game+Preview%3A+River+Rivalry

This week your Burbank Coyotes are playing in their biggest game so far this season against their rivals, the Riverview Panthers. Both teams are undefeated in league play going into this game Riverview being 3-0 and Burbank being 2-0. Burbank will have to win this game to have a chance to win a league championship. In last season’s meeting the Riverview Panthers came into Burbank and won 14-12, so Burbank is definitely trying to get their lick back.

Burbank is looking to keep the ground game rolling with their three game streak of 200+ rushing yards with star senior running back Elijah Kinsey and young star sophomore back in Matthew Wilder. The Coyotes defense has been amazing all season with forcing turnovers and making big plays and getting the ball back for the offense.  The defense has held the last three opponents down and set the tone for the running game to carry the scoring attack.  They are looking to continue that performance.

Both teams are playing for a lot this week so who will come out on top this Thursday?  Kickoff is 7pm in Finley.
