Frenship Puts Up 50 in Big Rivalry Win Over Lubbock-Cooper - Texas HS Football

Ordonez, a junior making his first career start, showed no signs of nerves as Frenship raced out to a 34-10 lead by halftime. Zade McClure hauled in the first two touchdown catches, and Noah Gonzales also found the end zone as the Tigers kept stretching the field and finding open receivers. Frenship had already reached 50 points by the end of the third quarter.

For Lubbock-Cooper, the loss stings early. The Pirates had no answer for Frenship's passing attack, giving up five scores through the air before the second half even kicked off. That kind of deficit in a rivalry game sets a rough tone for the rest of the season.

For Frenship, the bigger picture is what Ordonez's debut means going into a long year. Replacing a starting quarterback is one of the trickiest offseason puzzles in high school football, and the Tigers answered that question on opening night in about as convincing a fashion as anyone could ask for. Five touchdown passes in a half, in a first career start, in a rivalry game is a pretty rare combination.
