The second-ranked Pima Roughriders ruined the ninth-ranked Lobos’ home opener last Friday, cruising to a 60 – 20 victory.
Hayden, who defeated San Pasqual Valley by a lopsided margin two weeks ago, had no answer for the powerful Roughriders. The Lobos fell behind 40 – 0 in the first quarter before getting on the scoreboard in the second quarter. They trailed at halftime, 54 – 6.
Pima added a touchdown in the third quarter before the Lobos closed out the game with 14 points in the final quarter.
The Lobos travel to Ft. Thomas this Friday to take on an Apaches team coming off back-to-back road losses against Gilbert Christian and Superior. The game is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.
