Gavin Ray Lockett Delivers Electric Effort Vs Doherty
Gavin Ray Lockett was instrumental in extending Pueblo West's winning streak to six on Thursday. Doherty had no answer to Ray Lockett as he rushed for 86 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries, and also threw for 44 yards and a touchdown.
If history really does repeat itself, Ray Lockett might just drop another big game when he faces off against Mesa Ridge on Friday. When Ray Lockett last faced the Grizzlies back in September of 2023, he rushed for 145 yards and four touchdowns.

Mesa Ridge Wins Third-Straight Thanks to Trevon Salas
Mesa Ridge picked up their third consecutive win on Saturday thanks in part to Trevon Salas. Salas was dynamite, rushing for 43 yards and two touchdowns, while also catching a touchdown.
Salas must have Widefield's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Salas rushed for 98 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries the last time he and the Gladiators duked it out back in September of 2023.
