EL PASO, TEXAS (KFOX14\/CBS4) \u2014 The Game of the Week for Redzone Week 5 of high school football is Eastlake vs. Eastwood. <\/p>\n
A sold-out crowd at Trooper Stadium watched Eastwood flex its muscle in the teams\u2019 first district game of the season, jumping out to a 42-0 lead over Eastlake by the third quarter in a heavyweight 6A matchup.<\/p>\n
Eastwood entered the night looking to repeat as district champions, with its only loss this season coming against Utah power Corner Canyon. Eastlake arrived unbeaten at 4-0, hoping its backup quarterback could guide the Falcons to a statement win.<\/p>\n
Instead, Eastwood\u2019s ground game struck early and often. Troopers running back Matthew Ramirez, wearing No. 25, scored on a rushing touchdown to open the scoring. Later in the quarter, Ramirez broke loose again for a second long touchdown run.<\/p>\n
Eastwood also cashed in on a turnover when Eastlake quarterback Jonathan Fajardo was stripped, setting up a touchdown by Eastwood\u2019s Andrew Flanagan, No. 9.<\/p>\n
The Troopers\u2019 defense kept piling on. With Eastlake driving later in the quarter, Fajardo was intercepted by Logan Bedwell, who returned it 64 yards for a pick-six.<\/p>\n
Eastwood led 42-0 at the third quarter mark.<\/p>\n
A lightning delay led to the game being called, with Eastwood Troopers taking the win at 42-0. <\/p>\n
