You're bound to get a positive result if you outscore your opponent every quarter and that's exactly how it played out for Santa Teresa on Friday. Given that consistent dominance, it should come as no surprise that they blew the Leigh Longhorns out of the water with a 42-7 final score. The Saints might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won five contests by 35 points or more this season.
It was another big night for Salvador Guerrero, who threw for 257 yards and three TDs while completing 76.5% of his passes. He has been hot recently, having posted three or more passing touchdowns the last three times he's played. Santa Teresa also got a significant boost from Brian Caldwell, who ran away from the competition to the tune of 88 yards.
Santa Teresa didn't let much get past them through the air: they limited Leigh to a completion percentage of just 50%. Given Guerrero's standout performance, it's clear the Longhorns' secondary just wasn't on the same level.
When it comes to explaining why Leigh lost, don't look at Blake Zanger. Despite the final result, he rushed for 172 yards and one score.
