Cienega 10, Tucson High 7
At Tucson, Jacob Hackett's game-winning 42-yard field goal with 37 seconds left spoiled Tucson's senior night and gave Cienega (2-6) a much-needed 10-7 victory over the Badgers (6-2).
Cienega set the tone for the night after Aaron Sauls scored on a 96-yard run on the Bobcats' first offensive play, following a turnover on downs by the Badgers. Daquavin Bennett tied the game at 7-7 at the end of the third quarter with a 10-yard reception from Jorge Flores.
Tucson running back Deandre Williams was held to 100 yards rushing on 23 carries. Cienega head coach Pat Nugent said his team switched to a 3-4 defense to stop Williams. Cienega returns home to host Buena and Tucson will travel to Salpointe next week.

Leading up to it, I was just thinking kick it like a normal kick and don't even think that it's a game-winning kick. So I went out there and did what I normally do." — Hackett
