Mata has completed 179 passes out of 333 attempts for 2944 yards and has thrown 26 touchdown passes. Mata has a very strong arm always looking to throw the deep pass.

David Rodriguez #22 has 67 carries for274 yards rushing, Sotero Martinez #21 who has 47carries for 214 yards and Domingo Davila #2 who has 40 carries for 193 yards.

The visiting C.C.

The Mavericks air attack chores will be handled by receivers, Luis Olvera, Jose Blanco, Isaac Villarreal, Jared Roiz, Justis Roiz and Raul Soliz.
The Mavericks patented aggressive, quick pursuing and hard hitting defense will surely be tested heavily by the Coyotes this coming Friday night but you can rest assure that the defensive frontline of Ricardo Morales, Alexis Morales, Alejandro Ontiveros, and Isaias Gonzalez will have to dominate the line of scrimmage and apply pressure of the Coyotes starting signal caller. The Mavericks dynamic line backing duo of Ernesto Villasenor and Miguel De Los Santos should have quite a game against the Coyotes. The Mavericks secondary unit of Domingo Duran, Azael Rodriguez, Xavier Cerezo and Juan . Garcia will be tested quite heavily all game long and will need to force a few turnovers in this game.
