If Cholla wanted to avenge their loss from the last time they played Empire, they should've done a better job of containing Ngonkra Fuangunyi. The Empire Ravens blew past the Cholla Chargers 48-6 on Friday thanks in part to Fuangunyi, who rushed for 224 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 11.8 yards per carry. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, picking up two sacks and making three total tackles.
Fuangunyi was just one part of a punishing run game: Empire was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 270 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've posted since back in August.
With the victory, Empire broke their three-game losing streak and moved their record to 4-4. As for Cholla, they are on a seven-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-8.
Coincidentally, both will both be playing Rio Rico the next time they take the field. Empire will head out to face Rio Rico at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, while Cholla will host them at 7:00 p.m. on November 8th.
