Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Mojave). They really took it to the Rancho Rams for the full four quarters, racking up a 66-0 victory on the road. The result was nothing new for the Rattlers, who have now won three contests by 34 points or more so far this season.
This one was won in the trenches and the lion's share of the credit has to go to Miguel Reinares and he. Reinares rushed for 126 yards and a touchdown while he rushed for 126 yards and a touchdown. The dominant performance also gave Antwan Hawkins a new career-high in rushing yards. Another player making a difference was Arthur AJ Williams, who threw for 127 yards and two touchdowns while completing 83.3% of his passes.
Mojave's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged three passes before it was all said and done. The picks came courtesy of Elijah Richard and Damari Fairley. Albert AJ Tuitele was another major factor on D, forcing a fumble, making 13 total tackles (5.0 for loss), and defending a pass.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Mojave was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 346 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've managed all season.
