Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Sonoma Valley). They blew past the Novato Hornets, posting a 49-12 win. The Dragons have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the Hornets on Saturday, too.
Sonoma Valley's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Cayden Waldrop led the charge by rushing for 178 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.5 yards per carry. Waldrop is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in each of the last four games he's played. The team also got some help courtesy of Dalan Lopata, who threw for 276 yards and four TDs on only 16 passes.
Sonoma Valley didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off three passes before the game was over. It was truly a group effort as Alexander Pureco, Chuy Ordaz, and Angelo Tellez picked up one apiece. Tellez got in on the action too, converting a pick into a touchdown.
