The Chowchilla Tribe will square off against the Stone Ridge Christian Knights at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Chowchilla will be strutting in after a victory while Stone Ridge Christian will be coming in after a defeat.
Last Friday, Chowchilla got the win against Dos Palos by a conclusive 41-21. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Tribe.
Chowchilla's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Dwayne Hemphill led the charge by rushing for 87 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries, while also picking up 41 receiving yards and a touchdown. Hemphill's also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble and making six total tackles (2.0 for loss). Travis Selby was another key back, rushing for 98 yards and a touchdown on only 11 carries.
Selby wasn't the only one working in the rushing yards department: Chowchilla was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 285 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 167 rushing yards in eight consecutive games dating back to last season.
Chowchilla wouldn't let Dos Palos keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Chowchilla can thank Davian Stephenson and Hemphill for forcing both of them. Stephenson also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, forcing a fumble and making two total tackles in addition to snagging two interceptions.
Meanwhile, Stone Ridge Christian had to hit the road for their first game and it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They came up short against Calaveras last Friday, falling 27-7.
