EL PASO, Texas (KFOX 14, CBS 4) — The Eastwood Troopers fly out to Utah on Thursday for a Friday Showdown against national power Corner Canyon. Corner Canyon has won three-straight Utah 6A State Championships.
Eastwood looks to face an out-of-state program each season. The last two seasons they faced St. John Bosco (CA).
“We feel like you have to challenge yourself with the best,” Eastwood head coach Julio Lopez said.
Eastwood enters Friday’s game at 2-0. The Troopers have outscored their opponets 111-30 so far through two weeks.
Corner Canyon enters at 3-1 and coming off a 38-24 loss to Arizona 6A power Liberty.
“We jumped at this opportunity because they said yes to coming to Trooper Stadium next year,” Lopez said. “To have a home and home with a nationally recognized program made it a no brainer.”
The Troopers and Chargers kick things off in Draper, UT on Friday at 7pm.
