Trinidad came into Friday's game having lost 11 straight, but that streak is now in the rearview. They breezed by the Dolores Huerta Prep Scorpions at home to the tune of 50-6 on Friday. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Miners also won the last time the pair played back in September of 2017.
Xavier Garcia went supernova for Trinidad, rushing for 180 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.6 yards per carry. Another player making a difference was Isaiah Moreno, who rushed for 73 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries.
Trinidad's defense stepped up as well, laying out the QB six times. The heavy lifting was done by Andrew East and Dominic Edwards who racked up four sacks between them. East is also on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made five or more in the last six games he's played dating back to last season.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Trinidad was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 310 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've posted was before the start of last season.
Trinidad's first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-2.
