Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Sahuaro). They simply couldn't be stopped on Friday as they easily beat the Pueblo Warriors 48-17. The high-flying offensive performance was a huge turnaround for the Cougars considering their eight-point performance the contest before.
This one was won in the trenches and the lion's share of the credit has to go to Isaac Lugo and Jermarell Webb. Lugo rushed for 135 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries while Webb rushed for 146 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries. Webb is becoming a predictor of Sahuaro's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 1-6 when he doesn't). The team also got some help courtesy of Julian Perez, who rushed for 70 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries.
Although Pueblo took the loss, they still got scores from Andres Carpenter and Fernando Garcia.
With the victory, Sahuaro broke their five-game losing streak and moved their record to 4-6. As for Pueblo, their loss was their third straight at home, which dropped their record down to 2-8.
As of now, neither Sahuaro nor Pueblo have any future games scheduled.
