A Season-Best Performance from Xavier Perez Leads Organ Mountain over Clovis

Centennial pushed their record up to 7-0 with the victory, which was their fourth straight at home. Rios' next contest is against Organ Mountain on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.

Kason Perez's Big Game Leads Carlsbad over Alamogordo

Jordan Lucas Turns in Season-Best Performance
