Jal had lost three straight at home, but on Friday they dropped down to 3-6 to make it four. They lost 52-27 to the Loving Falcons. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Panthers of the 32-25 defeat they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in October of 2024.
When it comes to explaining why Jal lost, don't look at Zadyn Lujan. Despite the final result, he rushed for 156 yards and three TDs.
As for Loving, the win made it two in a row for them and bumps their season record up to 7-3. Considering they have won six contests by more than 24 points this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Tristen Onsurez continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, throwing for 331 yards and four touchdowns, while also rushing for 101 yards and one score. He is becoming a predictor of Loving's success: when he posts at least three passing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 2-3 when he doesn't). Brodie Allen also helped out as he racked up 105 rushing yards.
Coming up, Jal will venture away from home to square off against Eunice at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Panthers will need to watch out since the Cardinals have now posted at least 31 points in their last three matchups. Loving does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
