It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Goliad had no problem doing just that on Friday. They blew past the Marion Bulldogs, posting a 56-28 win. Considering the Tigers have won eight matchups by more than 25 points this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Marion's loss shouldn't obscure the performances of Kade Pape, who rushed for 100 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries, and Christian Sanchez, who gained 161 total yards and a touchdown. The dominant performance gave Pape a new career-high in rushing yards.
The victory (which was Goliad's fourth in a row) raised their record to 10-2. Those good results were due in large part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 55.8 points per game. As for Marion, their defeat dropped their record down to 5-7.
Goliad is on the road again on Friday to play Llano at 7:00 p.m. Llano will roll in looking for their 11th straight win, something Goliad surely won't give up without a fight. Marion does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
