Pacheco Came Up Big in Monte Vista's 32-8 Win
Another Monte Vista player making an appearance on this list is Jacob Pacheco. He rushed for 160 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.3 yards per carry. He didn't just play on offense: he also made three total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defended three passes.
Pacheco must have Ignacio's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Pacheco saw the Bobcats), he rushed for 276 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 8.6 yards per carry.
