Nicholas Rios Delivers Electric Performance Vs Cigarroa

Nicholas Rios's big game helped extend Jay's winning streak to six on Thursday. Rios did his part (and then some), rushing for 131 yards and two touchdowns for the 'W'. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 70 yards.

Jay pushed their record up to 6-0 with the victory, which was their third straight at home. Rios and Jay will head out to square off against Nixon at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Southwest Wins Sixth-Straight Thanks to Tyson Deen

Tyson Deen was instrumental in extending Southwest's winning streak to six on Friday. Deen did his part (and then some), forcing two fumbles and making eight total tackles for the 'W'. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing two fumbles and making eight total tackles.

Deen must have South San Antonio's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Deen forced a fumble and made 13 total tackles (1.0 for loss) the last time he and the Bobcats duked it out back in October of 2023.
