Jonah Villegas Delivers Best Effort of Season
Jonah Villegas produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Pojoaque Valley to the win on Friday. Villegas rushed for 149 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries.
Santa Fe Indian's probably not too fond of Villegas given he always seems to get the better of them. Villegas rushed for 115 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Braves duked it out back in September of 2023.

Joshua Gonzales' Rushing Yards a New Career-High

Gonzales rushed for 96 yards and three touchdowns on only five carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. Pojoaque Valley is undefeated when Gonzales posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 2-3 otherwise.
For the year, Gonzales has run in 6 touchdowns while averaging 25.2 rushing yards per game.
