Dolores Huerta wins first game in four years to snap 38-game losing streak
Dolores Huerta football put an end to a 38-game losing streak on Friday night by beating Miami-Yoder.
The Scorpions, who hadn’t won in more than four years — Sept. 13, 2014, to be exact — put up 28 points in the first half en route to a 28-0 win.
Put another way: the current seniors had not won a game since they’d been at the school.
“These boys were very, very excited!” Dolores Huerta coach James Casias said on Saturday. “They cried with lots of emotion. They screamed and yelled like they won a state championship.”
On a cold and windy night, with gusts up to 25 miles an hour, “throwing the ball was near impossible,” Casias said.
The 38-game losing streak had been the longest in the state. But no longer. Now, Dolores Huerta will enjoy its bye week, and then start to focus on Mancos, who they play on Oct. 20.
“We’re looking forward to our bye week and getting ready for Mancos,” Casias said. “Hopefully we can get us another victory.”
