Roman Mercado's Big Game Can't Quite Lead Las Lomas over Clayton Valley Charter
While Las Lomas might've come up empty on Friday, Roman Mercado wasn't going down without a fight. Nobody could stop Mercado as he picked up 192 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
If history really does repeat itself, Mercado might just drop another big game when he faces off against Campolindo on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Mercado saw the Cougars), he picked up 204 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
Gamescore: 37.87
Miramonte Gets a Boost from Blair in 35-28 Defeat

Miramonte's defeat dropped their record down to 4-3. Blair and Miramonte will have a little extra prep time after the loss as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Las Lomas at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.
