Colfax-Mingo Secures First Win of Season with 32-0 Shutout over Saydel

Head coach Jacob Lietz records his maiden victory as the Tigers dominate early and force a premature end due to injuries.

Colfax-Mingo’s First Victory

The Tigerhawks erupted onto the field Friday night, posting a 32-0 victory over Saydel that marked the program’s first win since September 27, 2024. The shutout not only ended a winless stretch but also delivered the highest scoring output for the team since a 39-0 triumph in 2024.

From the opening quarter, the Tigers established a commanding 12-0 lead, extending it to 32-0 by halftime. Senior standout Camden Cunningham powered the offense with two rushing touchdowns, two receiving scores, and a 50‑yard interception return for a touchdown. He also threw for 86 yards and two touchdowns while adding 53 yards on the ground.

Defensive Mastery and Early Exit

Defensively, the Tigerhawks forced multiple turnovers and amassed a flurry of tackles. Weston Boehm made a splashy varsity debut that included three tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble. Cruz Dickerson contributed a career‑best 86 rushing yards on nine carries, capping the night with his first varsity touchdown.

The game was called early in the second half as Saydel’s sidelines were depleted by injuries, leaving the opposition with a roster of freshmen. Despite the premature end, the Tigers’ statistical dominance was evident, racking up 142 rushing yards on 17 carries and controlling the clock.

What’s Next for the Tigerhawks

Looking ahead, Colfax-Mingo will host Clarke at 7 p.m. on Friday, seeking to build on the momentum generated by a performance that highlighted both offensive firepower and a defense that refused to yield. Head coach Jacob Lietz praised his squad’s resilience and expressed optimism for the remainder of the season.
