Livingston had to hit the road for their first game and it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They fell 35-29 to the Le Grand Bulldogs on Friday. The Wolves were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Bulldogs apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in August of 2024.
Livingston's defeat shouldn't obscure the performances of Alexander Zuniga, who rushed for 82 yards and one touchdown on only seven carries, and Jeffrey Meneses, who rushed for 78 yards and one score on only six carries. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 74 yards.
Even if they lost, Livingston's defensive line still kept up the pressure with three sacks. In fact, those sacks all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Julian Chavez.
Le Grand got their win on the backs of several key players, but it was Diego Martinez out in front who rushed for 60 yards and one TD, and also threw for 91 yards and three touchdowns while completing 71.4% of his passes. Blake Lua was in the mix too, providing the Bulldogs with two scores.
