Gilbert won the last time they faced Higley and things went their way on Thursday too. The Tigers blew past the Knights 38-7. The result was nothing new for the Tigers, who have now won eight games by 20 points or more so far this season.

Lilah Barton continued her habit of posting crazy stat lines, throwing for 179 yards and a pair of TDs while completing 73.1% of her passes, and also punching in one score on the ground. Another player making a difference was Jaylin Guerrero, who picked up 19 receiving yards and one touchdown.

Gilbert didn't let much get past them through the air: they limited Higley to a completion percentage of just 33.3%. The team can thank Jasmine Guerrero for the heroic effort on defense: she. Gilbert has been improving in that area: they had allowed a completion percentage of 0.61 earlier this season, but they've only allowed one of 0.61 in their last three games.

Gilbert's defense didn't let the opposing QB, get away unscathed either: they got into the backfield for four sacks. Lola Seger was especially locked on to Higley's QB and sacked her three times.

Gilbert pushed their record up to 10-3 with the win, which was their fifth straight on the road. The road victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 31.8 points over those games. As for Higley, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost five of their last six matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-6 record this season.

We've got plenty of inter-region action coming up soon. Gilbert is set to take on their familiar foe Queen Creek at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The two teams have allowed few points on average (the Tigers 12, the Bulldogs 8.4) so any points scored will be well earned. Meanwhile, Higley will square off against rival Williams Field at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
