The Socorro Bulldogs will hit the road for the first time this season to take on the Ysleta Indians at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Socorro is leaving town to face Ysleta after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. Socorro fell 28-20 to Horizon on Friday. The Bulldogs just can't catch a break and have now endured 11 defeats in a row dating back to last season.
Even though the team lost, they still had their share of impressive performances. One of the best came from Eder Hernandez, who rushed for 100 yards and two touchdowns.
Socorro's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged three passes before it was all said and done. It was truly a group effort as Jose Feliz, Roman Alvarado, and Andres Lopez picked up one apiece. Alvarado also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, forcing a fumble and making 12 total tackles (1.0 for loss) in addition to snagging an interception. Prince Vital was another major factor on D, making 13 total tackles (1.0 for loss).
Meanwhile, Ysleta had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They walked away with a 34-26 win over Parkland on Friday.
Rodrigo Martinez had an outrageously good game as he threw for 283 yards and five touchdowns on only 19 passes, and also rushed for 56 yards. Alonso Rodriguez was in the mix too, providing Ysleta with two touchdowns touchdowns.
Socorro and Ysleta were almost perfectly matched up in their previous meeting back in September of 2021, but Socorro suffered an agonizing 35-34 loss. Can Socorro avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
