Our Mustang Football team has had a strong first half of the season. The Minarets game vs Mariposa resulted in a win for our varsity team. We managed to accomplish a score of 55 - 7 due to our great offense passes from Adrian Vasquez and Torin Wolf and offense rushing made by Cade Fullmer, Kyle Alesi, and Jabari Gomez. We also won in our game against Sierra 44 - 6 because of the amazing amount of all-purpose yards accomplished by Joey Lamadrid and Caden Larsen. Riverdale ended with yet another win of 41 - 0 because of the efforts of the entire team and notably Dane Corkins, Paxton Torvsrud, Jabari Gomez, and JJ Suehiro's tackles.

The Minarets High School football team is figuring things out with the qualities of being developed, close, and connected. The school is so proud and pleased with everything they’ve accomplished so far this season.
