Last Friday, Kennedy was able to grind out a solid win over Van Nuys, taking the game 32-19.
Josue Sandoval and Diego Montes were among the main playmakers for Kennedy as the former rushed for 194 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.8 yards per carry and the latter rushed for 101 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries.

Kennedy was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 302 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 157 rushing yards in eight consecutive contests.
One reason for the win was Kennedy's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for three sacks. James Montes was particularly dangerous to the passing game, picking up two himself.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Roosevelt). They snuck past South Gate with a 42-36 victory on Friday. The win was some much needed relief for the Rough Riders as it spelled an end to their four-game losing streak.
