I expect the Sanger-Edison crowd at Sunnyside Stadium to at least match the 6,000 that turned out for the Clovis West-Edison 27-27 tie in Week 3 on Sept. 14. In that one, Edison out drew the Golden Eagles' fans 2-to-1.

Actually, I thought tonight's game would outdraw the CW-Edison contest given the fact Sanger traditionally draws much better on the road than the Eagles.

Looking at the ticket line outside the stadium, it appears that could be the case. The line measures about 100 yards a few minutes before kickoff.

There's a decent parking lot here at Sunnyside, but it doesn't accommodate capacity crowds, forcing fans to line their cars down Peach and Kings Canyon avenues.

Edison hasn't defeated Sanger since 1990, losing eight straight to the Apaches. But the second-ranked Tigers (4-0-1) are prohibitive favorites tonight over No. 10 but injury ravaged Sanger (4-1).
