Sonora extended their winning streak (dating back to last season) to 16 on Friday, bumping them up to 9-0. They blew past the Ripon Indians 46-20. Considering the Wildcats have won six games by more than 25 points this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Leading Sonora to victory were Cash Byington and Eli Ingalls. Byington gained 247 total yards and four touchdowns, while Ingalls rushed for 100 yards and three TDs on only 12 carries. Those 100 rushing yards gave Ingalls a new career-high.
They were just one part of a punishing run game: Sonora was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 404 rushing yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Ripon only rushed for 124.
Another reason for the win was Sonora's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for three sacks. The team can thank two different players for their defensive prowess: Brody Speer and Wyatt Ling, who each picked up one sack apiece.
As for Ripon, their defeat dropped their record down to 5-3. While losing is never fun, they can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' California football rankings (they are ranked 361st, while Sonora is ranked 65th).
Several Indians players turned in solid performances despite ultimately coming up short. Perhaps the best among those players was Andrew Shaw, who threw for 131 yards and one touchdown, and also punched in one score on the ground. Kael Rangel helped Shaw out on the ground, rushing for 78 yards and one TD.
