Donivan C Dixon had an outrageously good game as he rushed for 125 yards and three touchdowns on only eight carries, and also threw for 113 yards and a touchdown. Jake King was in the mix too, providing Cactus Shadows with three touchdowns touchdowns.

Meanwhile, Friday just wasn't the day for West Point's offense. They came up short against Skyline on Friday, falling 21-0. The Dragons haven't had much luck with the Coyotes recently, as the team's come up short the last two times they've met.
Everything came up roses for Cactus Shadows against West Point in their previous matchup back in September of 2023 as the team secured a 62-32 win.
