Texico senior running back Shay Harrison scores the second of his two touchdowns Friday in the Wolverines 35-14 loss at Santa Rosa. The win earned Santa Rosa the district title and likely top seed in the Class 2A playoffs.

Springlake-Earth 28, Bovina 7

Records: Springlake-Earth 8-2 (3-1 District 3-1A Division II), Bovina 4-6 (2-2)

Difference: Capitan scored the game's first 22 points, which included a 92-yard punt return by Tory Padilla less than two minutes into the game.

Difference-makers: Springlake-Earth, senior Nathan Garcia rushed for 124 yards on 16 carries, while senior Elder Rojas added 97 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Bovina, junior RB Marco Terrones rushed for 113 yards on eight carries and pulled the Mustangs to 14-7 in the final minute of the half by scoring from a yard out.

The Mustangs got the district's third playoff berth on a tiebreaker by virtue of a head-to-head win over idle Farwell (6-4, 2-2).
