Graves Came Up Big in Clovis East's 34-26 Victory
Clovis East picked up their seventh consecutive win on Thursday thanks in part to Lindsey Graves. Graves did his part (and then some), rushing for 129 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.2 yards per carry for the 'W'.
Graves must have Central's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Graves saw the Grizzlies), he rushed for 61 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 59 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Ross Cinfel was a major factor in Clovis North's victory over Clovis on Friday. Cinfel turned in nothing short of a gem, picking up 2.5 sacks and making ten total tackles (4.0 for loss).
For the year, Cinfel has averaged 7.3 total tackles per game and for the season has 5 sacks. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 3.71 total tackles per game.
