Jaxon Garcia Dazzles in Falfurrias Win
Jaxon Garcia helped snap Falfurrias's five-game losing streak. Garcia was dynamite on Friday, rushing for 64 yards and three touchdowns on only nine carries, while also throwing for 150 yards and a touchdown. Those 64 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
This season, Garcia has thrown 11 touchdowns while averaging 121.7 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 12 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 32.57 rushing yards.

San Diego Wins Third-Straight Thanks to Ronnie White
Ronnie White was instrumental in extending San Diego's winning streak to three on Friday. White was dynamite, picking up 85 receiving yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 52 yards and a touchdown on only five carries. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack and making two total tackles.
San Diego is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five matches, which provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season. White and San Diego will be playing in front of their home fans against Bishop at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
