It was a busy weekend on our turf, at all levels. There were both some wins and losses by our favorite teams, but it was a great weekend to watch.
The weekend kicked off with a bang when the Houston Cougars dominated the field over the Tulsa Golden Warriors. The 41-26 win came after an explosive 4th-quarter where the Cougars scored 24 points. Check out some of the highlights from the game:

Oregon Ducks Women’s soccer also fought hard Thursday night and played exceptionally. Unfortunately, #1 ranked Standford did win the match, but it was the valiant effort by the Ducks that kept the score at a low 1-0. We’re proud of how well the team controlled the field and the admirable teamwork the Ducks showed against the defending national champions.
Friday night proved to be an evening of high school heroes on our fields. Both Bishop Gorman and Austintown Fitch killed it last week with final scores at 42-7 and 49-6. The win helped Bishop Gorman hold down its #1 ranking in the state of Nevada and hopefully gave the team the confidence it needs to finish out the 2018 season strong.
On Saturday, the University of Hawaii football was nothing but strong. A 44-41 win over San Jose State not only brought the team to a 6-1 record but also meant the Paniolo trophy is back on the island. The team was more than a little excited as seen from the celebration:

Finishing off the weekend with a win was the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium. Sam Darnold had two big throws to Robby Anderson that helped secure the win and the team proved to be exceptional at running the ball. The Jets defense truly commanded the field though. With the defense keeping the Denver Broncos to just 16 points for the entire game, the offense was able to play the ball and score 34 points.
Indeed, @TerrellePryor caught that.
