Two dominant backs in Cameron Grady and Kalobe Rond are getting ready to go toe-to-toe. The Sotomayor WILDCATS will be playing at home against the Churchill Chargers at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Sotomayor knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 31 points or more in their past five contests -- so hopefully Churchill likes a good challenge.
Sotomayor is probably headed into the matchup with a chip on their shoulder considering Harlan just ended the team's six-game winning streak on Thursday. They fell just short of the Hawks by a score of 35-33. The defeat continues a trend for the WILDCATS in their matchups with the Hawks: they've now lost three in a row.
Despite the loss, Sotomayor had strong showings from Grady, who rushed for 150 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.4 yards per carry, and Chauncey Moon, who rushed for 110 yards and a touchdown on only 12 carries. Grady's longest rush was for an incredible 70 yards.
Even though they lost, Sotomayor was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 315 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 258 rushing yards in seven consecutive games.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Churchill). They blew past LEE, posting a 52-0 win. The high-scoring effort was just what the Chargers needed considering they were shutout in their previous match.
Hunter Pavlicek had an outrageously good game as he threw for 143 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 passes, and also rushed for 53 yards and a touchdown. He is becoming a predictor of Churchill's success: when he posts at least three passing touchdowns the team is 4-1 (and 2-3 when he doesn't).
Sotomayor's defeat ended a three-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 7-3. As for Churchill, their victory bumped their record up to 6-4.
