Tulelake gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Thursday. They took their contest at home with ease, bagging a 55-8 win over the Butte Valley Bulldogs. The match was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 48-0.
Tulelake found their leader in underclassman Max Robison, who rushed for 126 yards and three touchdowns on only eight carries. Robison also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, forcing a fumble and making three total tackles (1.0 for loss). Danny Garcia was another key player, gaining 104 total yards and four touchdowns.
Tulelake's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged four passes before it was all said and done. Anthony Loza led the group effort, picking up two of those interceptions all by himself. Ivan Jaime also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making three total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending two passes in addition to snagging an interception.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Tulelake was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 200 rushing yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Butte Valley only rushed for 59.
This is the second loss in a row for Butte Valley and nudges their season record down to 0-2.
