Rio Hondo Prep suffered a 52-46 loss at the hands of The King's Academy Knights from Northern California in Week 6. The Kares fell to 5-2 on the season in a SoCal/NorCal shootout that was an instant classic and ended on a 60 yard Touchdown pass for the game's final play. The Rio running game ran for 319 yards while TKA threw for 319 yards and the game was tied at 46-46 with 46 seconds remaining. Head Coach Mark Carson helps us break down a wild night at Kare Park as his team heads into its Bye Week. We are also joined by Senior DB Aiden Delgadillo who recorded his third Interception of the year and continues to make big plays on the defensive side of the ball.
