After flying high against Wheatland last Friday, Amador came back down to earth. The Buffaloes and the Pierce Bears were almost perfectly matched up on Friday, but the Buffaloes suffered a 14-13 loss. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Buffaloes of the 24-21 defeat they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in August of 2024.
Despite the loss, Amador still got an impressive performance from Brad Blankenheim, who rushed for 98 yards and two scores on only 11 carries. Blankenheim's longest rush was for an incredible 83 yards.
Austin Jorge was the offensive standout of the game as he rushed for 112 yards and a pair of touchdowns, and also threw for 112 yards while completing 75% of his passes. Those 112 rushing yards gave him a new career-high. A healthy portion of Jorge's aerial production (94 yards to be exact) went to Nate Macintosh.
Amador's loss dropped their record down to 1-1.
Amador has already played their next contest, a 60-33 victory against Bear Creek on the 5th. After each having a week off, Pierce and Lincoln will shake off the cobwebs and hit the field against one another at 7:15 p.m. on the 12th.
