Newcomb took care of business in their home opener on Saturday (and then some). They were the clear victor by a 42-18 margin over the Wingate Bears. That's more bragging rights for the Skyhawks, who also won the pair's last head-to-head.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Newcomb was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 291 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 238 rushing yards in four consecutive matchups dating back to last season.
Newcomb didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off four passes before the game was over. Ezekiel Bennet led the group effort, picking up two of those interceptions all by himself.
Newcomb will challenge Santa Fe Indian at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. As for Wingate, they will welcome Navajo Prep at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Wingate will come in still looking for their first win of the season.
