For the first time in his career, Omar Mata scored a receiving touchdown on Friday. He picked up 54 receiving yards and one touchdown, but sadly Rifle still had to take a 28-27 loss at the hands of University. Our internal rating system judged Friday's performance as the best he's ever given (but hopefully not for long).
Mata and Rifle will have a little extra prep time after the loss as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Palisade at 7:00 p.m. on the 9th. Despite Mata's best efforts to the contrary, the Bears will head into their next match having dropped six straight contests. Will the 9th be the turning point? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more football content.
