It may seem insignificant to some, but after Thursday's win Indio High School is now 2-0 in football for the first time since 2007.
That should be a big deal for the school. But the work is not done, and head coach James Dockery said as much this week at practice, after a big season-opening win.
But after a second big win, this time a 28-7 win over Indian Springs, it feels significant. Not just because of the amount of time that has passed since last time the school opened with consecutive wins, but also because of the confidence that will surely come from these two lopsided outcomes. That makes this feel sustainable.
Last week's 53-6 win was an outlier at Indio, at least in recent years. Thursday's win added validity and showed that there is indeed something special happening at Indio this year and perhaps beyond.
Indio never felt in trouble in this one. The Rajahs led 14-0 at the intermission and then went up 21-0 before Indian Springs scored early in the fourth quarter.

The games were played in UACJ's gym and were added to the exhibition schedule last month. UTEP will be back in Mexico, though in a different part of it, when they head to Cancun over Thanksgiving for the Cancun Challenge.
