After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Del Valle, Hanks was happy to have turned things around on Friday. They simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat the El Paso Tigers 48-6. The contest marked the Knights' most dominant win of the season.
Hanks' win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Jordan Morales, who threw for 316 yards and six touchdowns while completing 73.9% of his passes, and also rushed for 30 yards. The dominant performance also gave Morales a new career-high in passer rating (155.3). Hanks' leading receiver Alex Robles was Morales' top target yet again, picking up 178 receiving yards and four TDs.
Hanks didn't let much get past them through the air: they limited El Paso to a completion percentage of just 42.1%. The Knights have been improving in that area: they had allowed a completion percentage of 0.62 earlier this season, but they've only allowed one of 0.62 in their last three games.
Hanks' defense didn't let Landon Nussa, get away unscathed either: they got into the backfield for three sacks. The team can thank three different players for their defensive prowess: Kristian Barrios, Derek Chacon, and Johnny Swartz, who each picked up one sack apiece. Barrios was another major factor on D, picking up a sack, forcing one fumble, and making 14 total tackles.
Hanks' victory was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 4-3. The road wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 34.3 points over those games. As for El Paso, they have been struggling recently as they've lost four of their last five games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 2-5 record this season.
We've got plenty of inter-district action coming up soon. Hanks is set to challenge their familiar foe Canutillo at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Meanwhile, El Paso will take on rival Horizon at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
