Wins are hard to come by when you can't run the rock, something Mineral County proved: they limited Coleville to a paltry 2.7 yards per carry. The team can thank Quentin Isom for the heroic effort on defense: he. Mineral County didn't have any issues in that department, having averaged 12.9.
Mineral County's defense didn't let Kegan Armold, get away unscathed either: they got into the backfield for four sacks. In that department, Christopher Orozco was the leader with two. Mineral County received some extra help from Orozco, whose fumble return for a touchdown made for one of the most unforgettable moments.
Meanwhile, Virginia City had to suffer through a 42-14 loss at the hands of Carlin.

Mineral County's win bumped their record up to 3-1. As for Virginia City, they now have a losing record of 2-3.
Mineral County might still be hurting after the 48-27 defeat they got from Virginia City in their previous meeting back in October of 2024. Thankfully for the Serpents, Angel Hipolito (who rushed for 333 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 10.4 yards per carry) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
