Robinson is headed into the match having just posted their biggest win since September 1, 2023 last Friday. They blew past Hillsboro 48-22. Given the Rockets' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 182nd, while the Eagles are ranked 397th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Robinson to victory, but perhaps none more so than Evan Moreno, who rushed for 220 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 11.6 yards per carry. Moreno showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 68 yards. Brice Mccurdy was another key passer, throwing for 182 yards and three touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes.
