Wins are hard to come by when you can't run the rock, something Dublin proved: they limited Freedom to a paltry 3.5 yards per carry. While two picked up at least 12 total tackles, Tyler Gray stood above the rest. He picked up three sacks and made 12 total tackles (4.0 for loss). Dublin didn't have any issues in that department, having averaged 9.6.
Dublin's defense didn't let Tah'Kai Edwards, get away unscathed either: they got into the backfield for six sacks. In that department, Gray was the leader with three. He is also on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made six or more in each of the last four games he's played. Dublin received some extra help from Raymore, whose fumble return for a touchdown made for one of the most unforgettable moments.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Amador Valley). They were the clear victors by a 49-25 margin over Foothill on Friday. The final result isn't all that surprising considering the Dons' considerable advantage in MaxPreps' California football rankings (they are ranked 180th, while the Falcons are ranked 363rd).
