Meanwhile, Bovina was not the first on the board last Friday, but they got there more often. They strolled past Smyer with points to spare, taking the game 24-8. The score was all tied up 8-8 at the break, but the Mustangs were the (much) better team in the second half.
Bovina's win came from a few key players Farwell will need to keep an eye on. One of the most notable was Xavier Garcia, who rushed for 71 yards and one score. Those 71 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
Bovina's run defense was locked in: Smyer could only muster -2.1 yards per carry. The team can thank Alex Herrera for the heroic effort on defense: he. Bovina didn't have any issues in that department, having averaged 6.6.
Bovina's defense didn't let Skyler Pond, get away unscathed either: they got into the backfield for four sacks. Garcia was particularly dangerous to the passing game, picking up two himself.
Farwell pushed their record up to 4-1-1 with the victory, which was their third straight at home. Those home wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 39.3 points over those games. As for Bovina, the victory got them back to even at 2-2.
Friday's game might be decided on the ground. Farwell has been excellent on the ground this season, having averaged 187.2 rushing yards per game. However, it's not like Bovina struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 247.8 rushing yards. There's a good chance Friday's contest turns into a tough fight on the ground.
Everything came up roses for Farwell against Bovina in their previous meeting back in October of 2024, as the team secured a 39-0 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Steers since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
