There's no need to mince words:
Espanola Valley lost to
Aztec, and it lost bad. The score wound up at 54 - 12.
Aztec's offense came in ready to rumble, picking up 48 points in the first half. That put it at a 48 - 6 advantage. This initial advantage was enough to carry it through the second half despite the team only scoring an additional six points.
Aztec can chalk up much of its success to the efforts of senior Cody Smith, who threw for 340 yards and six touchdowns.
Espanola Valley's record fell to 2-4 after the loss. Aztec's win is its first of the season and lifts it to 1-4.
The teams are out to raise these records in their next games. Aztec will battle it out against Kirtland Central on Friday at 7:00 PM. The team will be hoping to continue its now three-game trend of scoring more points each week than the last. Meanwhile, Espanola Valley will look to defend its home turf against Albuquerque Academy this Friday at 7:00 PM. Based on the state rankings, we can expect a close game.
