Wins are hard to come by when you can't run the rock, something Alvarado proved: they limited Springtown to a paltry 3.1 yards per carry. The team can thank Logan Woolard for the heroic effort on defense: he. Alvarado's ground attack was stronger, having averaged 5.2.

Alvarado's defense also made the game a nightmare for Kaine Hill, racking up ten sacks. Zyon Brown led the group effort, picking up three of those sacks all by himself.

Meanwhile, Celina made easy work of Decatur on Friday and carried off a 33-7 win. Given the Bobcats' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 18th, while the Eagles are ranked 111th) , the win wasn't entirely unexpected.

Alvarado better keep an eye on Gaurav Muttasseril. He was instrumental in Celina's win, throwing for 86 yards and a pair of TDs on only seven passes. The dominant performance also gave Muttasseril a new career-high in passer rating (140.5).
