Red Mountain extended their winning streak to three on Friday, bumping them up to 7-1. They enjoyed a cozy 49-33 win over the Gilbert Tigers. The Mountain Lions pushed the score to 42-19 by the end of the third, a deficit the Tigers cut but never quite recovered from.

Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Red Mountain to victory, but perhaps none more so than Dominic Carmigiano, who threw for 148 yards and three TDs while completing 80% of his passes. The Mountain Lions' leading receiver Airreon Windom was Carmigiano's top target yet again, picking up 88 receiving yards and a pair of scores.

Red Mountain was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 250 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 176 rushing yards in three consecutive games.

As for Gilbert, they have been struggling recently as they've lost five of their last six contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 4-5 record this season. While losing is never fun, they can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Arizona football rankings (they are ranked 57th, while Red Mountain is ranked sixth).

Despite the loss, Gilbert still got an impressive performance from Jonathan Guy, who rushed for 121 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries, and also picked up 96 receiving yards and one TD. Another player making a difference was Zane Grant, who threw for 257 yards and a pair of touchdowns while picking up 11.2 yards per attempt.

Looking ahead, Red Mountain will head out to challenge Highland at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. As for Gilbert, they will be playing at home against Skyline at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Tigers will be up against the Coyotes' rather soft defense (which has allowed 37.89 points per matchup), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance.
