Cuero has been away from home for two games now, but on Friday they'll finally make their return. They will welcome the Miller Buccaneers at 7:00 p.m. Both might be coming in a bit winded given these two teams combined for 975 yards in their previous games.
Last Friday, Cuero was able to grind out a solid win over Yoakum, taking the game 61-49.
Jaxxon Marie was a one-man wrecking crew for Cuero as he rushed for 196 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 12.3 yards per carry, and also threw for 262 yards and five touchdowns while completing 76.2% of his passes. Marie's longest rush was for an incredible 70 yards. Walker Dietze was another key player, picking up 105 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Cuero was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 290 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've posted since back in October of 2023.
Cuero wouldn't let Yoakum keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force three fumbles. It was truly a group effort as Jace Gamez, Kason Roy, and David Leinen picked up one apiece. Another thorn in Yoakum's side was Jossiah Taylor, who made nine total tackles and snagging an interception.
Meanwhile, it's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 57-21, which was the final score in Miller's tilt against DeSoto on Friday. The loss was the Buccaneers' first of the season.
Miller might have lost, but man, Broderick Taylor was a machine: he picked up 136 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 116 yards and a touchdown. Another player making a difference was Trevor Long, who threw for 291 yards and two touchdowns.
Miller's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged two passes before it was all said and done. The picks came courtesy of Khalil Davis and Charles Williams. Williams is also crushing it when it comes to defended passes: he's defended at least one every time he's taken the field this season. Delson Cavaness was another major factor on D, picking up a sack, forcing a fumble, and making 12 total tackles (1.0 for loss).
Cuero now has a winning record of 2-1. As for Miller, their defeat was their first of the season and also makes their record 2-1.
