Omar Loya Turns in Season-Best Performance
Omar Loya produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Dexter to the win on Friday. Loya rushed for 202 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 65 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.

On the season, George has averaged 79.4 receiving yards per game.

Cohen Tomasits Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Cohen Tomasits produced his most outstanding game to date while leading New Mexico Military Institute to the win on Thursday. Tomasits rushed for 170 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.

Tomasits is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Ruidoso on Thursday. When Tomasits last faced the Warriors back in October of 2023, he rushed for 42 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 64 receiving yards and a touchdown.
