Seminole's Guerra nets 7 TDs | Week 1 high school football top performers - Lubbock Avalanche-Journal

Buddha Guerra put up one of the most jaw-dropping individual performances of the West Texas football season opener, rushing for 296 yards and six touchdowns on 22 carries as Seminole beat Bushland in Week 1. Guerra did not stop there.

Guerra did not stop there. He also hauled in six catches for 62 yards and added a seventh touchdown through the air, giving him a stat line that most players never see in an entire season, let alone a single game.

Denver City's Andres Ornelas was nearly as dominant on the ground, carrying 28 times for 220 yards and three scores in a win over Abernathy. That workload shows Denver City leaned on him hard from the opening whistle, and he delivered.

For folks in Lubbock who follow the area's smaller-district programs, these numbers matter. Seminole and Denver City both sit about 60 to 70 miles from town, but their games feed into the same regional football conversation that runs through every Friday night out here. A 296-yard, seven-touchdown game from a single player sets an early bar for what the rest of the district season might look like.

The seven total touchdowns made it something people will be talking about in Seminole for a while.
