TEXICO, N.M.—It turned out to be a terrible night on the football field for Loving, but Texico ended up making a bit of history.
The Wolverines scored every time on their first eight offensive plays to set the tone of Friday's game and go on to beat Loving 101-0, earning a place in New Mexico's high school record books.
Only one other team has scored more in a single game and that was 85 years ago when Deming beat Tularosa 124-0 in Tularosa's first football game. A few years earlier, in 1916, Albuquerque beat Santa Fe 101-0, according to the New Mexico Activities Association.
Texico head coach Mike Prokop said all he could do each time his team scored was drop his head. He said he didn't know what else to do since Loving couldn't stop the Wolverines.
Texico had a 54-0 halftime lead, thanks to three touchdown passes from Brett Anderson, a 50-yard punt return from Mario Posada and a slew of other touchdowns.
The second half was no different with Edgardo Meza starting the scoring off with a 60-yard kick off return. By the end of the quarter, Texico had built an 89-0 lead.
