Isaiah Lopez hit hard on defense, with 10 unassisted tackles and five assisted tackles.
San Manuel was able to head home victorious once more, with a final score of 38-0. Now holding a 3-0 record, the Miners are scheduled to travel and face Valley Union on Friday, Sept. 17, with kickoff at 7 p.m.
“Our team did good, but we still have some work to do,” commented head coach Ernie Ivy. “We are going to work on our game plan for their O and D. It should be a good game.”
