Cotulla Gets a Boost from Medina in 40-8 Win

Cotulla is undefeated when Medina posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
Cotulla's win was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 5-2. Medina and Cotulla will welcome Young Men's Leadership Academy at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Kane Stover and Co. Win Seventh in a Row
Poth picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Kane Stover. Stover was dynamite, rushing for 73 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries, while also picking up 56 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Poth pushed their record up to 7-0 with the victory, which was their ninth straight on the road dating back to last season. Stover's next match is against Natalia on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.

Gonzales Posts Huge Game in 21-19 Win
Garet Gonzales put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in October of 2023 on Friday. He rushed for 133 yards and a touchdown on only 14 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 55 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
If history really does repeat itself, Gonzales might just drop another big game when he faces off against Dilley on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Gonzales saw the Wolves), he rushed for 111 yards and a touchdown on only 15 carries.
