Underclassman Junior Medrano Major Player in Hobbs Victory
Underclassman Junior Medrano came into Friday's contest looking to prove himself and that's exactly what he did. He was dynamite on Friday, rushing for 138 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries, while also throwing for 33 yards and a touchdown.
Medrano and Hobbs will welcome Organ Mountain at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Medrano will face off against Xavier Perez, the Knights' star signal caller. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.

Dylan Hergenreder Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Thursday, Alamogordo had to settle for second even though Dylan Hergenreder put up the best numbers he has all season. Hergenreder rushed for 141 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Alamogordo is on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-8. Hergenreder and Alamogordo will have a little extra prep time after the loss as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Clovis at 7:00 p.m. on November 1st.

Rudy Rios Delivers Electric Effort Vs Organ Mountain
Rudy Rios was instrumental in extending Centennial's winning streak to eight on Friday. Rios was dynamite, rushing for 52 yards and three touchdowns, while also catching a touchdown.
On the year, Rios has run in 12 touchdowns while averaging 81 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after eight games last season, he was only averaging four rushing yards per game.

Another Game with at Least Five Total Tackles from Tristan Davis
Tristan Davis continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his 20th-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least five total tackles. He picked up two sacks, forced a fumble, and made eight total tackles (4.0 for loss). He has become a key player for Hobbs: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two sacks, but 1-4 otherwise.
Clovis's probably not too fond of Davis given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in November of 2023 (the last time Davis saw the Wildcats), he made 13 total tackles (4.0 for loss).
