Duncan also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making a tackle and defending four passes.

Evan Salazar Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Taos got the W thanks in part to Evan Salazar playing the best football he has all season. Salazar threw for 208 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 passes, and also rushed for 139 yards on only nine carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 67 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Taos' win was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 5-3. Salazar and Taos will face off against Moriarty at 6:00 p.m. on Friday.
