The Robinson Rockets will take on the Alvarado Indians at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, both will really light up the scoreboard.
Last Friday, Robinson earned a 31-20 win over Caldwell. Given the Rockets' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 368th, while the Hornets are ranked 774th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Robinson to victory, but perhaps none more so than Brice McCurdy, who threw for 170 yards and three touchdowns on only ten passes. Brayden Terry was McCurdy's top target, picking up 115 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Robinson was moving up and down the field and finished the game with 428 total yards. That's the most total yards they've posted since back in September of 2023.
Meanwhile, a well-balanced attack led Alvarado over Van Alstyne in every quarter on their way to victory on Friday. Given that consistent dominance, it should come as no surprise that Alvarado blew Van Alstyne out of the water with a 71-32 final score. With the Indians ahead 42-18 at the half, the contest was all but over already.
Alvarado's success was spearheaded by the efforts of Cardea Collier, who rushed for 71 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries, and Demarcus Belton, who rushed for 167 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.8 yards per carry. Belton's longest rush was for an impressive 52 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total. Lance Sansom was another key player, picking up 139 receiving yards.
Alvarado's defensive line stepped up as well, laying out the QB 6.5 times. Leading the way was D.J. Clampitt and his two sacks. He is also on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made eight or more in the last five games he's played dating back to last season. Logan Woolard was another major factor on D, making 12 total tackles (3.0 for loss).
The victory made it two in a row for Robinson and bumps their season record up to 2-0. As for Alvarado, their win bumped their record up to an identical 2-0.
