Cigarroa had to hit the road for their first game and it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They fell just short of the Zapata Hawks by a score of 31-28 on Friday. The Toros' loss continues a trend for the team, making it 11 in a row dating back to last season.
When it comes to explaining why Cigarroa lost, don't look at Armando Mata. Despite the final result, he rushed for 86 yards and a touchdown on only 12 carries, and also threw for 24 yards and a touchdown. Backing up that air attack was Carlos Aburto, who rushed for 94 yards and a rushing touchdown.
Cigarroa wouldn't let Zapata keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Cigarroa can thank Jaziel Bernal and Cristofer Covarrubias for forcing both of them. Bernal didn't just play on offense: he also forced a fumble and made four total tackles (2.0 for loss).
