🟠⚪ RIVERSIDE ROLLS INTO DISTRICT PLAY: RANGERS RUN PAST CLINT 40-6

By PREP1 Sports | October 2, 2026 The Riverside Rangers are heading into district play with serious momentum. Riverside traveled to Clint on Friday night and put together another powerful performance, rolling past the Clint Lions, 40-6, to close the regular season's non-district portion with five consecutive victories. The Rangers improved to 5-1 on the season, while Clint dropped to 1-5. MaxPreps.com And once again, Riverside's ground game did the heavy lifting. 💥 ROJAS III IS A PROBLEM Carlos Rojas III continued his remarkable senior season with another monster night. Rojas carried the ball just 10 times but exploded for 222 rushing yards and two touchdowns — an incredible 22.2 yards per carry. That's the kind of production that can change a football game in a hurry. Riverside finished with 305 rushing yards, adding another 161 yards through the air for 466 total yards. The Rangers didn't need a complicated formula. Give Rojas room. Let the offensive line work. And let Riverside's playmakers do the rest. 🎯 RIVERSIDE ALSO FINDS THE AIR Quarterback M. Martinez was efficient when called upon, completing 3-of-5 passes for 88 yards and a touchdown. And when Martinez went upstairs, Gabriel Garcia made it count. Garcia hauled in three receptions for 139 yards and two touchdowns, giving Riverside another explosive weapon to complement its punishing rushing attack. MaxPreps.com The combination proved too much for the Lions. 🛡️ FIVE STRAIGHT FOR THE RANGERS Friday's victory was Riverside's fifth straight, a remarkable turnaround after the Rangers opened the season with a narrow 44-41 loss to Parkland. Since then? 67-28 over Irvin. 44-43 over Chapin. 7-0 over Bowie. 51-48 over Seminole. 40-6 over Clint. Riverside has now won five consecutive games and enters district play 5-1. MaxPreps.com The Rangers have also scored 250 points through six games, according to MaxPreps. MaxPreps.com That's a team that has found its identity — physical, explosive and increasingly difficult to slow down. 🚨 NOW IT GETS REAL The non-district schedule is officially behind them. Next Friday, Riverside opens District 1-4A Division I play at home against Ysleta, another 5-1 team coming off a convincing 35-7 victory over Bowie. The Rangers and Indians meet Friday, October 9, at 7 p.m. And suddenly, that matchup has all the makings of a heavyweight district showdown. Two 5-1 teams. Two explosive offenses.
