Football Recap: Borrego Springs Rams vs. Julian Eagles

After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Calvin Christian, Borrego Springs was happy to have turned things around on Friday. Everything went their way against the Julian Eagles as the Borrego Springs Rams made off with a 44-22 victory. That's more bragging rights for the Rams, who also won the pair's last head-to-head.

Borrego Springs was led to victory by Alexis Urquidez and Christopher Alcaraz. Urquidez rushed for 179 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 10.5 yards per carry, while Alcaraz threw for 154 yards and three touchdowns. That's the most rushing yards Urquidez has posted since back in September of 2023.

Another reason for the win was Borrego Springs' imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for three sacks. In fact, those sacks all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Maurico Rodriguez. Abraham Arambula was another major factor on D, making 20 total tackles (2.0 for loss).

Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Borrego Springs was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 290 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 250 rushing yards in four consecutive matchups.

Borrego Springs now has a winning record of 3-2. As for Julian, they have traveled a rocky road recently having lost four of their last five contests, which put a noticeable dent in their 2-6 record this season.

Coincidentally, the two teams will both be playing West Shores the next time they take the field. Borrego Springs will host West Shores at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, while Julian will head out to face them at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.
