Brothers for life, teammates growing up and now opponents. Dion Coleman is a running back and safety for Chico High School, and Demetrius Norwood is a wide receiver and defensive back for Pleasant Valley High School. The two spent time training together growing up, spent time the past two years at Chico High School as teammates, and after Norwood transferred to PV ahead of his junior season, Coleman and Norwood will now face off on opposing sidelines in Almond Bowl 52 Friday night at Pleasant Valley High School.
This week, the Tehama County football schedule is a little bit lighter as the Corning Cardinals take the week off following its 34-21 loss to Red Bluff in the Tehama County shootout.
If the Chico High football was going to have to a chance at taking down NorCal powerhouse Sutter, the Panthers knew they'd have to come out fast and score points early. Wide receiver Troy Sommer connected with quarterback Azari Cruz for six catches and two touchdowns in the first half en route to a 26-24 victory for the Panthers.
Due to Sommer's standout performance, he has been named this week's Chico Enterprise-Record Prep Athlete of the Week.
