Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Hermiston). They really took it to the Hanford Falcons for the full four quarters, racking up a 47-7 victory. With the Bulldogs ahead 21-0 at the half, the matchup was all but over already.
Brayden Medelez was a one-man wrecking crew as he rushed for 58 yards and three touchdowns, and also threw for 163 yards and one TD on only 14 passes. What's more, he racked up 88.4 passer rating, the most he's had since back in October of 2024. A healthy portion of Medelez's aerial production (80 yards to be exact) went to Tanner Wicks.
Hermiston didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off three passes before the game was over. It was truly a group effort as James Young, Tabor Mills, and Nathaniel Henderson picked up one apiece. Mills got in on the action too, converting a pick into a touchdown.
The win made it two in a row for Hermiston and bumps their season record up to 2-4. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 41.0 points over those games. As for Hanford, their loss was their seventh straight on the road dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 1-5.
