The Bears improve to (7-1) on the year and (1-0) in a very tough 2-5A district and this win helps solidify the Bears as one of the top 3 teams in 5A at this point in the season. La Cueva would be lead offensively by Michael Rose, who had a superb rushing effort o the night racking up 280 yards and 2 touchdowns on the ground and a key interception on defense in the first half.
