The Rangely Panthers fell on hard times earlier this season, but after back-to-back victories it seems like their luck might finally be changing. They took their match on the road on Thursday with ease, bagging a 68-26 win over Soroco. The result was nothing new for Rangely, who have now won four contests by 20 points or more so far this season.
Gage Fielder had an outrageously good game as he rushed for 172 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries. Fielder was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 55 yards. Chase Cochrane also deserves a shout-out for his two touchdowns.
