Dublin took care of business in their home opener (and then some) on Friday. They breezed past the Berkeley Yellowjackets to the tune of 42-7. The score at the end of the third wound up being the final score as the Gaels just coasted through the last quarter.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Dublin to victory, but perhaps none more so than Andre Armendariz, who rushed for 174 yards and three touchdowns, and also picked up 47 receiving yards. The Gaels also got help from Rome Raymore, who showed off his sure hands for 81 receiving yards.
They were just one part of a punishing run game: Dublin was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 235 rushing yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Berkeley only rushed for 61 rushing yards.
Dublin's defense stepped up as well, laying out the QB four times. The heavy lifting was done by Dasanni Goodspeed and Tyler Gray, who racked up all four sacks between them. Dublin received some extra help from Thunder Hazen, whose fumble return for a touchdown made for one of the most unforgettable moments.
