Reno Prepares to Host Foothill in Exciting Non-Conference Clash
As the 2025-26 high school football season gains momentum, the Reno High School varsity football team (1-0) is set to host Foothill High School from Palo Cedro, California (0-0) in a highly anticipated non-conference matchup. Both teams enter the contest with something to prove, setting the stage for a competitive Friday night showdown.
Reno, ranked 3,293rd nationally and 15th in Nevada, comes off a strong season opener, defeating their first opponent 25-19. The team showcased balanced scoring throughout the game, with 6 points in both the second and third quarters and a strong 13-point surge in the fourth. Jackson Mathews has emerged as a key contributor for Reno, leading the team in rushing (216 yards), total yards (224), tackles (13), and points (24). Eli Sellers also bolstered the defense with a sack per game in the early season.
Foothill, meanwhile, begins their campaign with fresh energy but no games under their belt. The team enters the season ranked 2,853rd nationally and 214th in California, with strong sectional credentials. While statistical leaders for Foothill have yet to emerge, their high-powered rushing attack—averaging 350 yards per game—is expected to challenge Reno’s defense.
Comparing team stats, Reno has already shown its offensive versatility with 369 total yards per game, balancing a stout rushing attack with a measured passing game. Their defense has been active, tallying 47 tackles and 2 sacks per game. Foothill’s numbers, while not yet established for the season, suggest a team capable of explosive plays on the ground.
The matchup will not only test Reno’s defensive front against a formidable rushing offense but also provide a measuring stick for Foothill as they kick off their season. With Reno holding the edge in experience and early-season momentum, Friday’s game promises high-intensity action and a preview of each team’s potential this season.
