With a playoff game on the line, Strathmore rose to the challenge on Friday. They really took it to the Santa Maria Saints for the full four quarters, racking up a 38-7 win. Considering the Spartans have won five games by more than 20 points this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Strathmore to victory, but perhaps none more so than Ramon Rodriguez, who rushed for 126 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries. Another player making a difference was Isaiah Colunga, who rushed for 131 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries.
Strathmore was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 339 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've posted since back in December of 2023.
The victory (which was Strathmore's fourth in a row) raised their record to 9-2. Those good results were due in large part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 36.0 points per game. As for Santa Maria, they have been struggling recently as they've lost seven of their last eight contests, which put a noticeable dent in their 3-8 record this season.
Strathmore will play host again on Friday to welcome Delano, where kickoff is scheduled at 7:00 p.m. Strathmore knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 31 points or more in their past four matchups -- so hopefully Delano likes a good challenge. Santa Maria does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
