Wilson is riding high after its dominant home opening win under new coach Travis Clark.
The Bruins showed renewed enthusiasm on the sideline last week despite missing a group of transfer sit out players, and are looking to start 2-0 for the first time since 2019.
Senior receiver Max Barbee stole the headlines with a three touchdown performance in the opener but the Wilson defense was just as impressive in the 27-0 shutout of Portola.
Wilson is taking on a Marina team that also won its opener in dominant fashion 23-0 over Westminster. Vikings quarterback Garrett Hunnicutt threw three touchdown passes in the win and two of them were long scores to senior receiver Shane Cassidy.
