Lubbock Christian had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. Everything went their way against the Wink Wildcats on Friday as they made off with a 49-26 win. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Eagles also won the last time the pair played back in August of 2024.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Lubbock Christian to victory, but perhaps none more so than Daidai Atkins, who rushed for 77 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries.
Wink's loss shouldn't obscure the performances of Layne Lusby, who threw for 151 yards and a pair of TDs, and Timothy Montoya, who picked up 114 receiving yards and two scores. Montoya was no stranger to the big play, cutting upfield on a catch that went for 57 yards.
