The El Paso Tigers will head out on the road to face off against the Mountain View Lobos at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Both might be coming in a bit winded given how much these teams ran up and down the field in their prior games.
El Paso is leaving town to face Mountain View after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. El Paso fell just short of Austin by a score of 21-19 on Saturday. The Tigers just can't catch a break and have now endured four defeats in a row dating back to last season.
Meanwhile, Mountain View had to kick off their season on the road on Thursday, but they showed no ill effects. They were the clear victor by a 33-7 margin over Santa Teresa. The victory was all the more spectacular given the Lobos' disadvantage in MaxPreps' football rankings in their respective home states (they are ranked 833rd in Texas, while the Desert Warriors are ranked 46th in New Mexico).
Omar Nevarez was a one-man wrecking crew for Mountain View as he rushed for 201 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 12.6 yards per carry. Erick Dominguez also helped out with an impressive 92 receiving yards.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Mountain View was moving up and down the field and finished the game with 517 total yards. That's the most total yards they've posted since back in September of 2023.
El Paso skirted past Mountain View 14-11 when the teams last played back in September of 2017. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Mountain View's Pierre Is?ac R., who rushed for 101 yards and a touchdown on only 12 carries. Now that he won't be playing on Friday, will it be easier for El Paso to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
