By: Jake Villarreal
Redwood Football will take on Clovis North today in the Mineral King Bowl, JV will start at 5pm, and Varsity will start at 7:30 PM. Both teams come off of wins (7-0 for JV, 41-20 for Varsity)
Jairus Brooks, ´28 had this to say on his first home game of the 2025 year: “I feel good, Clovis North is a strong team so we have to show out and do what we gotta do.” Brooks also had this to say on the preparedness of team; “Yes, we are very prepared and we had a great week of practice, certain days were very tiring but it all comes down to the game.”
“It just feels like a normal home game, every day is to be excited and something to live for.”
Brody Preisendorf, ´26 also said this on the teams energy, morale, and seemingly jitters of the first home game every year: “Our coaches have done extremely well preparing us with film.”

Preisendorf also says, “I would say everyone on the team has that anxious feeling, every time we walk onto the field. It’s a good nervous feeling.”
The Rangers next game after Week 2 will take them to Tulare Union.
