On Friday night the Estacado Matadors traveled to Big Springs to play the Steers in a district matchup.
Estacado couldn’t go much through the air as DJ Johnson completed only 3 of 14 passes for 22 yards. Cedric Ross had 2 of those receptions for 4 yards, and James Bozeman had the other one for an 18-yard reception. As the Matadors struggled to move the ball through the air, they effectively moved the ball on the ground throughout the night.
Running back James Bozeman racked up 166 rushing yards on 11 carries scoring twice, Bobby Ross rushed for an even 100 yards on 14 carries scoring once, and Cedric Ross put up 71 yards on 3 touches scoring once. The Matadors defense made big plays all night, only allowing scores in the second and third quarters. The defense was led by Donivan Torrez and Delton Johnson, as both were flying around the field, combining for 19 total tackles.
Estacado takes down Big Springs 33-13.
Next week Estacado will return home to play their final district game against Lake View, who is coming off a bye week. Big Springs will also play their final district game next week as they travel to play Andrews, who is coming off a 28-14 loss to Brownwood.
