Carlin had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They blew past the Wells Leopards 42-12 on the road on Thursday. The contest was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 30-6.
Leading Carlin to victory were Leo Krantz and Dylan Ramirez. Krantz threw for 252 yards and three touchdowns, while Ramirez gained 180 total yards and two touchdowns. Ramirez was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 68 yards. A healthy portion of that aerial production (120 yards to be exact) went to Kayden Kerby, who also brought in a receiving touchdown.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Carlin was moving up and down the field and finished the game with 436 total yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Wells only gained 240.
One reason for the win was Carlin's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for five sacks. In that department, Carter Pooley was the leader with two.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Carlin will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Mineral County at 7:00 p.m. on September 5th. As for Wells, they will square off against Eureka at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.
