The Miyamura Patriots will face off against the Bloomfield Bobcats at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the two teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Miyamura took a loss when they played away from home last Friday, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed on Friday. They blew past Aztec 48-15 at home. The victory was some much needed relief for the Patriots as it spelled an end to their four-game losing streak dating back to last season.
Miyamura relied on the efforts of Seth Torres, who gained 137 total yards and two touchdowns, and Salid Rashid, who rushed for 49 yards and two touchdowns. Torres got the majority of those yards when he took off on a run and that went for an incredible76 yards. Javier Flores did his part to keep the secondary busy, picking up 90 receiving yards.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Miyamura was moving up and down the field and finished the game with 458 total yards. That's the most total yards they've posted since was before the start of last season.
Meanwhile, Bloomfield faced Piedra Vista in a battle between two of the state's top teams on Friday. Bloomfield came out on top against Piedra Vista by a score of 47-34.
Miyamura ended up a good deal behind Bloomfield in their previous meeting back in September of 2021, losing 28-14. Can Miyamura avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
