Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Central Valley). They breezed past the Beaver Bobcats to the tune of 51-19 on Friday. With the Warriors ahead 34-6 at the half, the match was all but over already.
A big part of Central Valley's victory came down to the chemistry between Braddock Ambrose and his top target Aaron Lawson. Ambrose threw for 196 yards and three TDs while completing 90.9% of his passes while Lawson gained 120 total yards and two touchdowns. Lawson also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making four total tackles and defending two passes.
Central Valley didn't let much get past them through the air: they limited Beaver to a completion percentage of just 43.5%. The team can thank Braylen Nastick for the heroic effort on defense: he. Given Ambrose's standout performance, it's clear Beaver's secondary just wasn't on the same level.
Special teams played a big role in the game for Central Valley, adding 15 points to the final score. All came from Dominic Pratt: he went 3-for-3 kicking field goals for nine points, and 6-for-6 kicking extra points for an additional six.
When it comes to explaining why Beaver lost, don't look at Jax Weiss. Despite the final result, he rushed for 102 yards and one score on only five carries. Weiss got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 83 yards.
The win made it two in a row for Central Valley and bumps their season record up to 2-3. The victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 25 points in those games. As for Beaver, their defeat was their fourth straight at home dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 2-3.
Looking ahead, Central Valley will host Avonworth at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Antelopes' defense has only allowed 9.6 points per game this season, so the Warriors' offense will have their work cut out for them. As for Beaver, they will venture away from home to take on McGuffey at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Bobcats will be up against the Highlanders' rather soft defense (which has allowed 51.25 points per contest), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance.
