Jp Garza's Rushing Yards a New Career-High

Jonathan Flores and Co. Win Sixth in a Row
Jonathan Flores was instrumental in extending Vela's winning streak to six on Friday. Flores did his part (and then some), rushing for 135 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries for the 'W'. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his sixth straight game with at least 131 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Flores must have Juarez-Lincoln's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Flores last faced the Huskies back in October of 2023, he rushed for 244 yards and five touchdowns on only 12 carries.
Gamescore: 29.80
Botello Posts Huge Game in 27-7 Win
Adrian Botello's big game helped extend Rowe's winning streak to three on Friday. Rio Grande City had no answer to Botello as he threw for 161 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 46 yards.
On the year, Botello has thrown 8 touchdowns while averaging 105 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to three.
Gamescore: 24.83
Kane Coy Makes It Two for Mcallen Memorial

This year, Coy has thrown 11 touchdowns (and no picks) while averaging 115.8 passing yards per game.
