ROHNERT PARK, Calif. - the Cougars had a big 22-point second quarter on Saturday, sealing a 43-14 victory over
Windsor (Calif.).
Rancho Cotate scored on a
Malik Newton touchdown run, a touchdown pass by
Gunner Mefferd to
Joey Trono and a Mefferd touchdown pass to
Chris Taylor-yamanoha in the quarter.
After taking the lead on a
Tanoa Peleti touchdown run in the first quarter, RC was up 29-6 at the half.
