Jaxon Garcia's Big Game Leads Falfurrias over Santa Gertrudis Academy
Jaxon Garcia helped snap Falfurrias's five-game losing streak. Garcia turned in nothing short of a gem on Friday, rushing for 64 yards and three touchdowns on only nine carries, while also throwing for 150 yards and a touchdown. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
Garcia and Falfurrias will head out to take on Progreso at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Garcia took on the Red Ants, he threw for 105 yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 43 yards. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

San Diego Wins Third-Straight Thanks to Ronnie White
San Diego picked up their third consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Ronnie White.

He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, picking up a sack and making two total tackles.
San Diego is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five games, which provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season. White and San Diego will be playing in front of their home fans against Bishop at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
