Zaiden Davis' Big Game Leads Centennial over Organ Mountain

Underclassman Junior Medrano Major Player in Hobbs Victory
It was an underclassman who stole the show on Friday as Junior Medrano came into the game on a mission. He turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 138 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries, while also throwing for 33 yards and a touchdown.
Medrano and Hobbs will be playing in front of their home fans against Organ Mountain at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Medrano will face off against Xavier Perez, the Knights' star signal caller. So who wins this QB-duel? There's only one way to know for sure.

Dylan Hergenreder Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Thursday, Alamogordo had to settle for second even though Dylan Hergenreder put up the best numbers he has all season. Hergenreder rushed for 141 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Alamogordo is on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-8. Hergenreder and Alamogordo will have a little extra prep time after the loss as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Clovis at 7:00 p.m. on November 1st.

Rudy Rios Dazzles in Centennial Win
Rudy Rios was instrumental in extending Centennial's winning streak to eight on Friday. Rios was unstoppable, rushing for 52 yards and three touchdowns, while also catching a touchdown.
For the season, Rios has run in 12 touchdowns while averaging 81 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging four rushing yards per game.

Tristan Davis Turns in Another Game with at Least Five Total Tackles
Tristan Davis continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his 20th-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least five total tackles. He picked up two sacks, forced a fumble, and made eight total tackles (4.0 for loss). He has become a key player for Hobbs: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two sacks, but 1-4 otherwise.
Unfortunately for Clovis, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Davis. Davis made 13 total tackles (4.0 for loss) the last time he and the Wildcats duked it out back in November of 2023.
