Football Preview: Sotomayor WILDCATS vs. Stevens Falcons
The Sotomayor WILDCATS will venture away from home to take on the Stevens Falcons at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, both will really light up the scoreboard.
Stevens is hoping to do what Holmes couldn't on Friday: put an end to Sotomayor's winning streak, which now stands at three games. Sotomayor simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat Holmes 44-15 at home. Given the WILDCATS's advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 341st, while the Huskies are ranked 884th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Sotomayor can attribute much of their success to Chauncey Moon, who threw for 125 yards and four touchdowns while completing 85.7% of his passes, and Cameron Grady, who gained 170 total yards and two touchdowns. Grady was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 63 yards. Mckell Johnekins was in the mix too, providing Sotomayor with two touchdowns.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Sotomayor was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 258 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 258 rushing yards in three consecutive contests.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Stevens). They blew past Warren 47-7 on the road on Friday. The score at the end of the third wound up being the final score as the Falcons just coasted through the last quarter.
Sotomayor's record is now 4-2. As for Stevens, their record now sits at 2-3.
Everything came up roses for Sotomayor against Stevens when the teams last played back in September of 2023, as the squad secured a 35-0 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Sotomayor since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
