Creekview pushed their record up to 7-0 with the victory, which was their fourth straight on the road. Garcia and Creekview will take on Adams at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Eliceo Cardona Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Thursday, North Mesquite got the W thanks in part to Eliceo Cardona playing the best football he has all season. Cardona forced a fumble, made 13 total tackles (4.0 for loss), and defended a pass.
With the win, North Mesquite broke their three-game losing streak and moved their record to 2-5. Cardona will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Molina on Thursday.
