Bisbee had lost four straight on the road, but on Friday they dropped down to 3-6 to make it five. They fell 21-16 to the Palo Verde Titans. The Pumas were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Titans apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in October of 2024.
When it comes to explaining why Bisbee lost, don't look at Hunter Wright. Despite the final result, he rushed for 101 yards on only nine carries, and also picked up 92 receiving yards. Wright's longest rush was for an impressive 53 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
While Bisbee came up short, they sure didn't make it easy for Palo Verde: they limited their QB to completion percentage of just 20%. The team can thank Cameron Anderson for the heroic effort on defense: he. Bisbee wasn't nearly as limited: they posted one of 53.3%.
As for Palo Verde, the win (which was their fifth in a row) raised their record to 6-3. The victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 6.8 points on average over those games.
The critical scores for Palo Verde came from Charles Allison, Jackson Tyson, and Kameron Pippen.
Looking ahead, Bisbee will take on Santa Cruz Valley at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. That contest will pit two of the most dominant wideouts against one another: Wright and Daniel Contreras. Palo Verde does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
