Eliceo Cardona Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Thursday, North Mesquite got the W thanks in part to Eliceo Cardona playing the best football he has all season. Cardona forced a fumble, made 13 total tackles (4.0 for loss), and defended a pass.
North Mesquite moved to 2-5 with that win, which also ended their three-game losing streak. Cardona's next game is against Molina on Thursday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.
