Eastland extended their losing streak (dating back to last season) to five on Friday, dropping them down to 0-4. They had to suffer through a 35-6 loss at the hands of the Breckenridge Buckaroos. The Mavericks were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Buckaroos apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in September of 2024.
Breckenridge's first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-3. Their offense stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most points they've scored all season.
Jaime Cruz had another great game (as he tends to do), rushing for 137 yards and three scores while picking up 8.1 yards per carry. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, forcing one fumble and making three total tackles. Another player making a difference was Ryan Waller, who picked up 116 receiving yards and one touchdown.
Eastland and Breckenridge could both be facing uphill battles in their next games considering their disadvantage in the MaxPreps Texas Rankings.
