Aiden Bates Game Report: vs Maryvale + How To Watch

On Friday, Aiden Bates earned his first-ever forced fumble. He also made eight total tackles (2.0 for loss), helping propel Mesquite past Maryvale by a score of 48-6. Our internal rating system judged Friday's effort as the best he's ever given (but hopefully not for long).

Coming up, Bates and Mesquite will venture away from home to take on St. Mary's at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Knights will enter the matchup having just beaten Empire, so the Wildcats will have to guard against a team looking to keep the ball rolling.
