1st Round Weigh In: Thousand Oaks Lancers

Rio Hondo Prep will make history on Friday night as they take the field in the highest division they've ever participated in for the CIF Southern Section Playoffs. The 16 time Champions will be competing in Division 5 this November as they try to defend their back to back Titles from 2023 in D9 and 2024 in D7. The Kares will travel to Thousand Oaks and take on the 8-2 Lancers who are full of college bound athletes. After countless uphill battles in the Postseason the past two years, Rio Hondo is poised for another challenge of a lifetime. Our featured guest is Aram Tolegian who has been covering High School Football for over 20 years and knows the teams in the San Gabriel Valley better than anyone. We discuss Rio's steady ascent into being one of the elites in the SGV and the perception from those who aren't affiliated with the program. Additionally, Senior London Sayegh makes a quick special appearance on the show after she recently modeled a book report in Literature class as a satire of the Charge To Keep podcast. The 2025 Kares have accepted their dangerous mission for the Division 5 Playoffs. As they figuratively take off from their aircraft carrier this Friday night, we wish them Godspeed.
