The Stanton Buffaloes will venture away from home to square off against the Wall Hawks at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the two teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Stanton is probably headed into the matchup with a chip on their shoulder considering Coahoma just ended the team's three-game winning streak on Friday. They received a blow as they fell 57-40 to the Bulldogs. Despite running the score up even higher than they did in their prior game two weeks ago (39), the Buffaloes still had to take the loss.
Stanton wouldn't let Coahoma keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Oscar Salcido was the leader in that area as all came courtesy of his dominant performance.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Wall). They took their match two weeks ago with ease, bagging a 58-6 win over Grape Creek. Winning may never get old, but the Hawks sure are getting used to it with their seventh in a row.
A big part of Wall's victory came down to the chemistry between Landon H York and his top target Thomas Leanos. York threw for 293 yards and four touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes while Leanos rushed for 110 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries. Leanos' longest rush was for an impressive 53 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Wall was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 215 rushing yards. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 91.4 rushing yards per game earlier this season, but in their last four games they've averaged 209.5.
Stanton's loss dropped their record down to 5-3. As for Wall, they pushed their record up to 8-1 with the win, which was their seventh straight on the road dating back to last season.
