Rajahs win again in historic outcome that signals a big change at Indio
It's been nearly two decades since the last time Indio opened the season 2-0.
Indio High School's football team has secured a historic win on Thursday, marking their second consecutive victory since 2007. Head coach James Dockery emphasized the significance of this achievement after the game at practice. The Rajahs defeated Indian Springs 28-7, a victory that highlighted the team's rising confidence and potential.
Last week's 53-6 win over Xavier Prep was an outlier, but Thursday's win reinforced the idea that something special is happening at Indio. The Rajahs controlled the game from the start, leading 14-0 at halftime and 21-0 before Indian Springs scored early in the fourth quarter. Senior Adam Tremper, a running back, scored both of Indio's first-half touchdowns, while senior Damian Durinzi had a crucial interception and two-point conversion in the first half.
Jeremiah Apodaca, a linebacker, sealed the win with a fourth-quarter interception. Indio, which previously won the CIF football title, aims to build on this momentum. If successful, the team could return to the playoffs for the second time in over 20 years and potentially win the Sun Valley League.
