The Mojave High football team won its fifth straight game tonight in shutting out host Sunrise Mountain 30-0.

Coach Wes Pacheco credited his defense in the win, especially the efforts of senior linebacker AJ Tuitele.

“AJ played lights out,” Pacheco said. “It’s hard sledding to gain yards on us. Our defense is setting the tone.”

AJ Williams, Miguel Reinares, Ra’Jahn Butler and Antwan Hawkins had rushing touchdowns.

“We continue to get better every week,” Pacheco said.
