Springlake-Earth is hoping to do what White Deer couldn't on Friday: put an end to Booker's winning streak, which now stands at five games. Booker claimed a resounding 56-0 win over White Deer. Given the Kiowas' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 45th, while the Bucks are ranked 179th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Nelson was his usual excellent self, rushing for 42 yards and two touchdowns, while also throwing for 114 yards and a touchdown while completing 87.5% of his passes. Marco Flores was another key player, picking up 81 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Meanwhile, Springlake-Earth was fully in charge two weeks ago, breezing past Kress 60-12. That looming 60-12 mark stands out as the most commanding margin for the Wolverines yet this season.

He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making four total tackles and defending four passes in addition to snagging an interception. Speaking of playmakers, who could forget Timothy Tovar, who went all the way with a kickoff return for a touchdown.
Springlake-Earth's defense stepped up as well, laying out the QB four times. The heavy lifting was done by Donovan Stiggers and Kaleb Castillo, who racked up all four sacks between them.
