Zayden Pittman continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines for Ropes, rushing for 120 yards and a pair of TDs on only seven carries, while also catching one touchdown. Pittman also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making five total tackles and defending one pass. Kade Franklin was another key signal caller, throwing for 73 yards and a pair of TDs.
Sundown's defeat was their first in the district, dropping their district record down to 2-1 and their overall record down to 3-5. As for Ropes, the win (which was their sixth in a row) raised their record to 7-1.
