Southwest SD can't be to happy about their upcoming road matchup considering what happened when they opened their season on the away from home on Friday. They came up short against Hoover, falling 58-35. The loss leaves the Raiders without a win on the season.
Southwest SD's defeat shouldn't obscure the performances of Leo Holguin, who threw for 318 yards and four touchdowns, and Jordan Cretain, who picked up 140 receiving yards and two touchdowns. A healthy portion of that aerial production (83 yards to be exact) also went to Deshawn Robinson, who also brought in a receiving touchdown.
Meanwhile, Mountain Empire took care of business in their home opener on Friday (barely). They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with an 8-6 win over Hamilton.
Southwest SD strolled past Mountain Empire in their previous matchup back in August of 2023 by a score of 20-6. The rematch might be a little tougher for Southwest SD since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
