The freshman Lobo football team hosted the Andrews Mustangs on Thursday. The team came away with a 28-6 win, improving their season record to an undefeated 3-0.

Blake Thompson was the Lobo of the night scoring all four touchdowns on runs of three, six and 48 yards. He also caught a pass from Wade Roark and scampered 30 yards for his fourth touchdown of the night. Roark added 2 PAT'S and threw a 2-point conversion to Gael Espinoza to round out the scoring.

"I thought the Offensive line did a great job taking control of the line of scrimmage. They wore the Andrews team down and dominated the second half. Coach Gilliam has done a great job with the group of kids. Coach Golson also had our defense on the spot all night. We made two great goal line stands when Andrews had the ball first-and-goal from the six one time, and first -and-goal from the nine another time.

"An offside penalty on a fourth-and-one gave Andrews new life on the only score they had, so we felt like our defense really played great.

"I think every kid we had playing Thursday night gave us a tremendous effort on both sides of the ball.

"Micah Ramsey ran the ball great. Kendrick Anderson caught several big passes. Ricky Robledo had a huge third-down catch that allowed us to make a 98 yard drive for our first touchdown, and Wade Roark has done an excellent job of leading this group form the Quarterback position all year,: said coach Burnett.

Some of the defensive standouts were Wade Roark, Ricky Robledo, Tyler Lightner, Timothy Ontiveros , Anthony Ford, Jose Armendariz, Enrique Licon, and Micah Ramsey.

The Offensive Linemen are Ernest Rodriguez, Bubba Boyett, Daniel Lopez, Anthony Ford, and Alex Wetzig.

"This was another big win for the freshman. We are very excited about this group of Loboes" concluded Coach Burnett.

The freshmen will play Kermit in a home game this Thursday at 5 pm.
