Southwest extended their winning streak to eight on Thursday, bumping them up to 8-0. They blew past the Paxton Tigers 55-13. The Roughriders might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won seven matchups by 24 points or more this season.
Southwest's win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Houston Billeter, who threw for 133 yards and four TDs on only nine passes, and also rushed for 57 yards and one score on only seven carries. Billeter is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in each of the last three games he's played. Another pass catcher making a difference was Deric Kelley, who picked up 56 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
Wins are hard to come by when you can't run the rock, something Southwest proved: they limited Paxton to a paltry 2.7 yards per carry. The team can thank Gage Hammond for the heroic effort on defense: he. Southwest didn't have any issues in that department, having averaged 10.1.
As for Paxton, they are on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-7. While losing is never fun, they can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Nebraska football rankings (they are ranked 100th, while Southwest is ranked second).
When it comes to explaining why Paxton lost, don't look at Maddex Mcconnell. Despite the final result, he picked up 143 receiving yards and one score. Mcconnell really caught the secondary sleeping when he pulled down a catch that went for 78 yards.
Coming up, Southwest will be playing at home against Lewiston at 6:00 p.m. on the 31st. The Tigers will aim to continue their four-game streak of scoring more points each game than the last. Paxton does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
