Jaden Lovato Helps Extend Bernalillo's Winning Streak on Friday
Bernalillo picked up their third consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Jaden Lovato. Portales had no answer to Lovato as he picked up three sacks, forced two fumbles, and made ten total tackles (4.0 for loss). Lovato is on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made seven or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
