Two dominant signal callers in Chauncey Moon and Tucker Vogel are getting ready to go toe-to-toe. The Sotomayor WILDCATS will head out on the road to take on the Taft Raiders at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday. One thing working in Sotomayor's favor is that they have posted at least 31 points in their last four matchups.
On Friday, Sotomayor was fully in charge, breezing past Stevens 48-17. The WILDCATS haven't had any issues with the Falcons recently, as the game was their third consecutive victory against them.
Cameron Grady continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, rushing for 152 yards and a pair of touchdowns, while also picking up 81 receiving yards and one score. He showed off some serious burst, lighting up the secondary with a catch for 57 yards. Another back making a difference was Haewood Anderson, who rushed for 67 yards and one TD.
They were just one part of a punishing run game: Sotomayor was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 299 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 299 rushing yards in four consecutive games.

Another reason for the win was Sotomayor's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for seven sacks. Leading the way was Braxton King with four. Thanks to that big game, he is now up to 6 sacks on the season. Drake Villegas was another major factor on D, picking up a sack and making 11 total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Meanwhile, Taft was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Thursday as they fell 41-37 to Warren. The Raiders were up 23-7 in the second quarter but couldn't hold on to the lead.
This is the second loss in a row for Taft and nudges their season record down to 3-3. Those defeats can't be blamed on the team's offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 37.0 points over those games. As for Sotomayor, they now have a winning record of 4-3.
Sotomayor strolled past Taft in their previous meeting back in October of 2024 by a score of 34-16. The rematch might be a little tougher for the WILDCATS since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
