PRE-GAME INTRO: Dos Pueblos (1-6, 0-1) hosts to Santa Barbara High (3-4, 0-1) tonight in the second Channel League game of the season for both teams. Already a rivalry game, the game takes on extra weight with both teams coming off a loss in their league openers.
This is the first of the three rivalry games that make up the City Championship series. Dos Pueblos and San Marcos face off in Battle of Goleta Valley next Friday, and San Marcos and Santa Barbara clash in the Big Game on Nov. 7.
Santa Barbara coach JT Stone hopes playing a city rival will lift the spirits and improve the focus of his football team after last week’s 44-7 drubbing against CIF Western Division fourth-ranked Ventura.
The Dons were run over in the second half against the Cougars. Junior quarterback Brent Peus was under duress on almost every snap.
The Chargers are expected to go with sophomore Kellen Roberts at quarterback after their offense struggled in a 24-7 defeat against Buena. Roberts has started three games this season and led DP to its only win, 42-20 over Santa Ynez.
FINAL: Santa Barbara 28, Dos Pueblos 21
