This level of dominance helped lead his team to three straight 6A conference semifinals and a championship appearance, despite falling short to Saguaro.
The Mountain Lions are going to significantly miss Savoie as he accounted for a large majority of the offense’s success
Next Level
He will now take his talents to Western New Mexico and play for the Mustangs.
The Mustangs desperately need a consistent runner considering the team averaged a mere 45.5 rush yards per game and 1.7 per carry. Savoie will look to continue his level of play at the next level and turn Western New Mexico’s offense around.
