The Horsemen, who sealed the District 3A-2 crown, now own the third longest winning streak in state history behind only Gadsden (34 games, 1952-56) and Animas (69 games, 1985-90). But the win wasn't as easy as the final score indicates. St. Michael's led, 19-6, in the third period before scoring the final three touchdowns to pull away from the Cardinals. Horsemen QB <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1600843' first='Kamal' last='Stith']</strong> set a new school record for most touchdowns in a single season with 31. Two-way standout <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1155019' first='Ryan' last='Hunt']</strong> caught a pair of TD passes. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='853063' first='Isaiah' last='Dominguez']</strong> was, as always, a key sparkplug for the St. Michael's offense. The physical and aggressive Horsemen stymied the Robertson offense most of the afternoon. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Video 1: First Quarter (St. Michael's TD)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://youtu.be/wKoD-t3EtWI?si=wbX9XBtJDK01aTgl","type":"video","providerNameSlug":"youtube","responsive":true,"className":"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://youtu.be/wKoD-t3EtWI?si=wbX9XBtJDK01aTgl </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Video 2: Second Quarter (St. Michael's TD)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://youtu.be/TDLvvfCMYko?si=zZcTHPXr1XW3pKDZ","type":"video","providerNameSlug":"youtube","responsive":true,"className":"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://youtu.be/TDLvvfCMYko?si=zZcTHPXr1XW3pKDZ </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Video 3: Third Quarter (Multiple TDs) </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://youtu.be/v4MkFUhrbew?si=u1CPHS-mwqRca7U2","type":"video","providerNameSlug":"youtube","responsive":true,"className":"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://youtu.be/v4MkFUhrbew?si=u1CPHS-mwqRca7U2 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Video 4: Fourth Quarter (St. Michael's TD)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://youtu.be/okKd4hT290A?si=KzLE2ZXCQMvIQK1g","type":"video","providerNameSlug":"youtube","responsive":true,"className":"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://youtu.be/okKd4hT290A?si=KzLE2ZXCQMvIQK1g </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Additional Highlights</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">FOOTBALL: Piedra Vista beat Farmington 17-14 in a game that included an opening kickoff return for a touchdown and last second game-winning FG with four seconds left.
