The No. 7-ranked College of the Sequoias football team in Northern California (6-4) is set to host Sierra College (5-5) in the first Pepsi Sequoia Bowl since 1991. The game, slated to take place this Saturday, November 30, will serve as the conclusion to the 2024 season. Kickoff is scheduled for 12:00 p.m., with gates opening at 11:00 a.m.

This special event will also be "Family Day," with general admission tickets priced at just $5, and kids under 10 admitted free.

The Giants, ranked No. 7 in the North, enter the game with a strong passing attack led by quarterback Reilly Garcia. Garcia has thrown for 2,226 yards and 21 touchdowns this season, supported by standout wide receiver Gage Armbruster (Corcoran HS), who has tallied 863 receiving yards and nine touchdowns. Defensively, Tokyo Gordon and Will Henderson anchor a unit that has excelled at limiting opponents' ground game and forcing turnovers.

Sierra College is led by quarterback Maddox Varella, who has thrown for 2,495 yards and 26 touchdowns. Running back Jayr Ramirez adds another dimension with 713 rushing yards and eight scores, while wide receiver Dontae Robinson has been a consistent threat in the passing game with 719 yards and eight touchdowns.
