The Catalina Trojans''s recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Friday after their seventh straight loss. They were dealt a 52-14 defeat at the hands of Willcox. Catalina lost against Willcox in their previous head to head back in October of 2022, too, but the margin this time around was much wider than the 52-6 score last time.
Willcox found their leader in underclassman Ismael Cuevas, who rushed for 38 yards and two touchdowns. Landon Ward also deserves a shout-out for his two touchdowns.
Catalina's defeat was their third straight at home, which dropped their overall record down to 3-7. Those losses could be blamed on the team's offensive performance across that stretch, as they only averaged 6.7 points per game. As for Willcox, the win was the fourth in a row for them, bringing their record for this year to 6-4.
Catalina does not have any more games scheduled as of now. Willcox will head out on the road to face off against Scottsdale Christian Academy at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Scottsdale Christian Academy is also coming in off of a big victory, so somebody is in for a big reversal of fortune.
