The Robertson Cardinals's homestand will continue as they prepare to take on the Tularosa Wildcats at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The two teams are strolling into their matches after big wins in their previous games.
Last Friday, Robertson took their game at home with ease, bagging a 49-7 victory over Raton. Fans of the Cardinals have seen this all before: every one of the games they've played this season has ended in a blowout of 20+ points.
A big part of Robertson's win came down to the chemistry between Jesse James Gonzalez and his top target George Smith. Gonzalez threw for 215 yards and four touchdowns on only 17 passes while Smith gained 157 total yards and three touchdowns. Gonzalez is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last four games he's played dating back to last season. The team also got some help courtesy of Paul Duran, who gained 68 total yards and a touchdown.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Robertson was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 229 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 193 rushing yards in three consecutive matchups.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Tularosa). They claimed a resounding 50-0 victory over Capitan at home. The team's explosion on offense also rewarded the Wildcats with their most commanding win of the season.
Robertson pushed their record up to 5-0 with the win, which was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season. As for Tularosa, they now have a winning record of 3-2.
