Central Valley (7-5) is coming off a defeat -- a heartbreaking 56-54 road loss to first-place Spokane last weekend that was decided by a Shock field goal in the final seconds.

That marked the Coyotes' first loss with Lemoore High graduate Clay Groefsema at quarterback this season.

Groefsema, who had been inactive the first half of the season, returned to the field June 7 and has guided the Coyotes to three wins in four games.

Since his return, Groefsema has completed 63.9 percent of his passes for 941 yards, with 17 touchdowns and four interceptions. He's also run for six TDs.

Groefsema was Central Valley starter's last season, his rookie campaign in afl2, helping the Coyotes become the highest-scoring team in the league. But he had not played since suffering a hand injury late in the season.

The Coyotes' leading receiver is former Tulare Union High standout Nichiren Flowers, who has 71 catches for 915 yards, including 19 TD catches.

Tonae Martin has been Central Valley's top point producer with 26 touchdowns -- 20 receiving and six rushing.

Central Valley is in second place in the National Conference Western Division. Spokane (12-1) has clinched the division title

Stockton, meanwhile, is struggling with a 3-10 mark.
