Copper Canyon's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Luis Rojas
Copper Canyon's five-game losing streak is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Luis Rojas. Rojas turned in nothing short of a gem on Friday, picking up a sack and making six total tackles. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, picking up a sack and making six total tackles.
This season, Rojas has averaged 8.2 total tackles per game and for the season has those 1 sack. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 2.83 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 64.33 rushing yards.

Big Game from Wray As Estrella Foothills Won 33-11
Another Estrella Foothills player making an appearance on this list is Hone Wray. He threw for 169 yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 55 yards.
Washington's probably not too fond of Wray given he always seems to get the better of them. When Wray last faced the Rams back in October of 2023, he threw for 262 yards and four touchdowns while completing 72.2% of his passes.
