Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Eldorado). They took down the Harper Longhorns 30-13 on Friday. The victory was some much needed relief for the Eagles as it spelled an end to their three-game losing streak.
Jasi Galindo was a one-man wrecking crew for Eldorado as he rushed for 113 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 89 receiving yards and a touchdown. Galindo torched the secondary when he pulled down a catch that went for 79 yards.
Eldorado's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged four passes before it was all said and done. It was truly a group effort as Jonah Penkszyk, Galindo, Amare Luna, and Luna picked up one apiece.
Eldorado's win ended a four-game drought at home dating back to last season and bumped them up to 2-3. As for Harper, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 3-2.
Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Eldorado will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Iraan at 7:00 p.m. on October 11th. Iraan knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 31 points or more in their past five matchups -- so hopefully Eldorado likes a good challenge. Harper will also get a bit of a break before their next contest: they'll face off against Holland at 7:00 p.m. on October 11th. Harper's defense has only allowed 17.8 points per game this season, so Holland's offense will have their work cut out for them.
