Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Thomas Jefferson). They blew past the Montbello Warriors 59-14 on Friday. The team's explosion on offense also rewarded the Spartans with their most commanding win of the season.
Thomas Jefferson was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 440 rushing yards. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 85.2 rushing yards per game earlier this season, but in their last five matches they've averaged 228.8.
On the defensive side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Thomas Jefferson's defense and their six sacks. Elijah Dawson was particularly dangerous to the passing game, picking up two himself. He also set a new season high mark in total tackles with eight.
The victory (which was Thomas Jefferson's fourth in a row) raised their record to 6-4. Those victories were due in large part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 11.8 points per game. As for Montbello, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-9.
As of now, neither Thomas Jefferson nor Montbello have any future games scheduled.
