Two of the last remaining unbeaten teams in the 3A and 2A North divisions squared off Friday night, with the Ganado Hornets defending their home field and pulling away late for a 28-16 victory over the Piñon Eagles. With the win, Ganado remains the lone undefeated team on the Arizona side of the Navajo Nation football competition.

The Crownpoint Eagles completed a two-minute drill in the final moments Thursday night to hand previously unbeaten Navajo Prep a 14-8 loss. The victory gives Crownpoint (2-2) its second straight win after opening the season with back-to-back shutout losses to Pojoaque Valley and Montezuma-Cortez by a combined score of 102-0.

The Tohatchi Cougars picked up their first win of the season Friday night, defeating the Newcomb Skyhawks 26-6 at home despite multiple rain delays and a threatening lightning cloud that lingered overhead.

The Bloomfield Bobcats wasted no time shaking off their first regular season loss since 2022.

Newcomb freshman Josiah Nunez spent much of the game lined up at defensive end, holding his own in the trenches.
