The Hayden football team improved to 2 – 1 following a 45 – 0 victory at Baboquivari last Friday night.
The Lobos bounced back after a 48 – 0 loss at Williams on August 28. The bye week between games certainly appeared to be beneficial.
“We had a good game,” Hayden head coach John Estrada told the Copper Basin News. “We corrected some mistakes we made in prior games.”
In its in two wins this season, Hayden had allowed only eight points.
“Our defense played very tough,” Estrada said. “We’re not quite there yet but hard work will get us there.”
A big test awaits the Lobos this Friday for Homecoming, when they’ll host undefeated Valley Lutheran.
“I just hope all the distractions from the festivities don’t affect our performance,” Estrada said. “We’ll be challenged on Friday.”
Up next: Valley Lutheran at Hayden on Friday, Sept. 15. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.
