McFarland gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Friday. They took their matchup at home with ease, bagging a 39-6 victory over the Farmersville Aztecs. The win was a breath of fresh air for the Cougars as it put an end to their seven-game losing streak dating back to last season.
McFarland was led to victory by Sebastian San Juan Concha and Luis Salazar. San Juan Concha gained 65 total yards and three touchdowns, while Salazar rushed for 80 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries.
San Juan Concha wasn't the only one working in the rushing yards department: McFarland was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 306 rushing yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Farmersville only rushed for 135.
McFarland wouldn't let Farmersville keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. McFarland can thank Angel Rios and Julian Barajas for forcing both of them.
