With a playoff game on the line, Arbor View rose to the challenge on Friday. They enjoyed a cozy 37-21 victory over the Coronado Cougars. The Aggies have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the Cougars, too.
Arbor View was led to victory by Kamareion Bell and Thaddeus Thatcher. Bell rushed for 146 yards and a touchdown, while Thatcher threw for 180 yards and a touchdown while completing 83.3% of his passes. The dominant performance gave Bell a new career-high in rushing yards.
Arbor View was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 224 rushing yards. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 81.3 rushing yards per game earlier this season, but in their last five contests they've averaged 139.
Despite the loss, Coronado still got an impressive performance from Aiden Krause, who threw for 287 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 12.5 yards per attempt, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
The win (which was Arbor View's fourth in a row) raised their record to 10-1. Those good results were due in large part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 41.3 points per game. As for Coronado, their loss dropped their record down to 7-5.
Arbor View will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Bishop Gorman at 7:00 p.m. on November 26th. Bishop Gorman knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with 31 points or more in their past eight matches -- so hopefully Arbor View likes a good challenge. Coronado does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
