The losing side was boosted by Cooper Staup, who rushed for 126 yards.
Meanwhile, Enterprise had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They simply couldn't be stopped on Friday as they easily beat Corning 47-0 on the road. The victory was a breath of fresh air for the Hornets as it put an end to their seven-game losing streak dating back to last season.
Enterprise's success was spearheaded by the efforts of Dashawn Townsend, who rushed for 150 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries, and Jj Johnson, who threw for 57 yards and three touchdowns. Porter Fischer was in the mix as well, providing Enterprise with two receiving touchdowns touchdowns.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Enterprise was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 260 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've posted since back in September of 2023.
West Valley strolled past Enterprise when the teams last played back in September of 2019 by a score of 42-28.
