The Mission Viejo Diablos are preparing to face the Edison Chargers in a key matchup at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. This exciting game will feature two teams with contrasting momentum as Mission Viejo heads into the contest fresh off solid performances.

Fahey demonstrated his accuracy by completing 74.2% of his passes. His top target during the game was KJ Woodbury JR, who contributed significantly with 151 receiving yards and one touchdown of his own.

Edison’s Challenges

The Edison Chargers will enter the game struggling after their recent defeat to Los Alamitos, finishing with a score of 41-22 last Thursday. This loss has dropped Edison’s record to 5-3, while Mission Viejo improved to 7-1 following their win against San Clemente.

Mission Viejo’s Defensive Strength

In addition to their high-scoring offense, Mission Viejo’s defense has been formidable, allowing an average of just 12.3 points per game during their last three home victories.
