Robertson put another one in the bag on Friday to keep their perfect season alive. They breezed by the Raton Tigers at home to the tune of 49-7. Fans of the Cardinals have seen this all before: every one of the games they've played this season has ended in a blowout of 20+ points.
A big part of Robertson's victory came down to the chemistry between Jesse James Gonzalez and his top target George Smith. Gonzalez threw for 215 yards and four touchdowns on only 17 passes while Smith gained 157 total yards and three touchdowns. That high mark didn't come from nowhere: Gonzalez now passed for three or more in the last four games he's played dating back to last season. Paul Duran was another key player, gaining 68 total yards and a touchdown.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Robertson was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 229 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 193 rushing yards in three consecutive games.
When it comes to explaining why Raton lost, don't look at Cannon Walton. Despite the final result, he rushed for 136 yards and a touchdown on only 15 carries.

Robertson will play host again on Friday to welcome Tularosa, where kickoff is scheduled at 7:00 p.m. One thing working in Robertson's favor is that they have posted at least 31 points every time they've taken the field this season. As for Raton, they will be playing at home against St. Michael's at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
