EAGLE FOOTBALL 35 TOMBALL CONCORDIA LUTHERAN 7

Cardenas overpowered for 158 rushing yards on only 16 carries with four touchdowns while a doomsday defense continued its lockdown domination for a seventh straight win to start the season.

The Eagles slapped a 21-point second quarter to effectively decide the outcome by halftime. Cardenas scorched some of the best soloing since rock-guitar gunslinger Eddie Van Halen let loose his slash-and-burn aesthetic “Eruption.” Two minutes into the second stanza, Cardenas exploded into TCL’s second tier and rocketed for a 62-yard scoring bolt. On the second series of the second half, he touched the ball four times in a six-play scoring series, bulldozing the final 22 yards for his final rushing touchdown of the game, his 13th of the season, and his 18th overall for 2022.
