If Newton wanted to avenge their loss from the last time they played Goddard, they should've done a better job of containing Erik Olivas. The Lions strolled past the Railroaders with points to spare on Friday, taking the game 36-17 for which the team can thank Olivas, who rushed for 152 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also picked up 102 receiving yards and a pair of TDs. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 81 yards.
When it comes to explaining why Newton lost, don't look at Kolbie Espada. Despite the final result, he rushed for 132 yards, and also threw for 151 yards and one touchdown.
