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 blew past Raton, posting a 49-7 win at home. 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 victory 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. Paul Duran was another key player, gaining 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 win over Capitan at home. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest victory 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.
