Coyotes pick up victory

San Jon/Grady picked up its first victory of the season with a 54-6 decision Saturday against Reserve at Carrizozo in six-man football action.

The visiting Coyotes stormed to a 34-6 lead by halftime.

The Coyotes improved to 1-2 overall.

The host Mountaineers fell to 0-3 on the season.

Because of the cancellation of the Roy-Mosquero game on the Coyotes’ schedule due to a lack of players by their opponent, they next play at Springer at 7 p.m. Sept. 27.

Logan 50, Pine Hill 0

The visiting Longhorns destroyed Pine Hill 50-0 in an eight-man football game Friday shortened at halftime by the mercy rule.

Logan (2-2) led 42-0 after just the first quarter, and the rest of the game was played under a running clock.

Nick Brown and Jordan Evans each scored two touchdowns for the Longhorns, and coach Dwayne Roberts said quarterback Jantzen Paris had a good night passing.

“We spread it around,” Roberts said. “We even let several of our young players catch a few passes. We got to try some new things on offense. It was a good night.”

The Warriors fell to 0-2.

Because of a cancellation of Logan’s game against Foothill due to its lack of players by its opponent, the Longhorns next play at district contender Melrose at 7 p.m. Sept. 27.
