The Mineral County High football team returns to the field on Friday when they travel to Wells after enjoying a bye week.
The Serpents enter the game with a record of 3-0 on the young season and have outscored its opponents 126-14 in the last two games. That includes a 64-14 win over Carlin on Sept. 5 and a 62-0 win over McDermitt on Aug. 31.
Junior quarterback Chase Reeves has been on quite a run during the two-game stretch, passing for five touchdowns in each of the last two games. He’s also done it with his legs, scoring twice on runs in the McDermitt game and once on a 49 yard run against Carlin. Not to be outdone, Quentin Isom has been the recipient of many of those passes as the sophomore scored three times and caught five passes for 169 yards in the Carlin win while also catching three touchdown passes against McDermitt.
Andrew Stinson also had a big game against Carlin with a pair of touchdowns and 154 receiving yards.
Ivan Eaton has helped carry the defense during the win streak and had nine tackles in the Carlin win. The senior also handled the kickoff duties and ran the ball back for a total of 328 yards in that game.
Mineral County (3-0) hits the road to take on Wells (1-2) on Thursday and looks to improve on its hot start to the season.
“We hope to come home with a win, getting to 4-0 is something that has not happened since the 2012 season,” coach Phillip Jaramillo said. “This team is different. The IQ is high and the drive is there,” he added.
