The Golden Valley Bulldogs had already won six in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 25.2 points), and they went ahead and made it seven on Thursday. They claimed a resounding 55-0 victory over Del Oro at home. Considering Golden Valley has won five contests by more than 20 points this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.

Another reason for the win was Golden Valley's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for three sacks. In fact, those sacks all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Abbott.
