7th Grade
The 7th grade Colts did a great job competing against our rival the Hondo Owls on Thursday, September 28th, winning 44-0.
The defense really set the tone throughout the game by securing its second shut-out of the year. The D-line, Linebackers, and Secondary meshed perfectly. Tracen Rice and Jathen Razo delivered the boom on one hit on a kick off. Jaieden Burford played the QB position about as well as one could. He accounted for 4 TDs. Marcus Rodriguez continued to be a work horse of a RB. He got into the end zone 4 times himself. Aaron Saenz also scored on a long pass from Burford.
“What is really scary about this ball club is that we have yet to play to our full capabilities. If we ever do we will be hard to beat,” stated Coach Quenton Sanders.
“The defense never let Hondo get started. They had to punt on almost every possession, and one of them ended up as a safety. Multiple kids played at every position so we were able to stay fresh and aggressive, said Coach Lon Cozby.
