The Hayden Lobos are taking a road trip to challenge the Ray Bearcats at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Hayden is currently enjoying a perfect season and no doubt wants to keep things rolling.
Last Friday, Hayden took their contest on the road with ease, bagging a 67-6 win over Cicero Prep Academy. The Lobos might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won seven games by 30 points or more this season.
Hayden got their victory on the backs of several key players, but it was Kino Lorona out in front who rushed for 95 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries, and also picked up 67 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Lorona didn't just play on offense: he also picked up a sack, made six total tackles, and defended a pass. Another back making a difference was Tyler Garner, who rushed for 165 yards and two touchdowns.
Hayden didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off four passes before the game was over. Jordan Rodriguez led the group effort, picking up two of those interceptions all by himself. With that strong performance, Garner is now averaging an impressive 100.1 rushing yards per game.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Hayden was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 260 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 189 rushing yards in 13 consecutive matches dating back to last season.
