Israel Mendez Game Report: vs Birdville

Opposing passers better start keeping an eye on Israel Mendez: he recorded his first sack on Friday and we're guessing he's looking for more. He picked up 0.5 sacks and made four total tackles as Richland took down Birdville 51-21. We certainly expect to see more performances from Mendez considering he's already seeing the field as a sophomore.

Looking ahead, Mendez and Richland will challenge Fossil Ridge at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Thanks in part to Mendez's efforts, the Royals will roll in on a three-game winning streak. Will Mendez and the rest of the team keep the streak alive? Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
