Chiefs lose at River Road 14-12
The Chieftain homecoming drew a standing room crowd to Chieftain Field amid good weather, free hamburgers, and homecoming activities, crowning Rebecca Bailey as Homecoming Queen, and a pre-game touchdown run by Sammy Silva.
Unfortunately the Chiefs lost to Idalou 21-0. The always tough Wildcats racked up 203 passing yards and 154 rushing for a 357 offensive total. The Chiefs, without leading rusher Eddie Garcia, managed 264 yards of total offense, 167 rushing and 97 passing.
Running backs Omar Ramos (11 carries, 57 yards) and Michael Garcia (11 carries, 50 yards) took rushing honors. Cris Alvarez pitched in with 2 carries for 53 yards.
Mason Loflin completed 5 of 15 passes for 97 yards: receivers were Justin Rocha 1 for 15 yards, Brad Stowers 2 for 48, Jose Zamudio 1 for 13, and Antonio Adame 1 for 21.
The Chiefs had several opportunities to score as they moved inside Idalou’s 20-yard line but the Wildcats defense stopped the drives.
The Chiefs (0-3) will be looking for their first win Friday night as they travel to Lubbock Roosevelt to take on the Eagles. The game will be on the radio with KNNK 100.5 FM and on WT Services channel 6.
