Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Futures). They breezed by the Encina Bulldogs at home to the tune of 37-0 on Wednesday. The high-scoring effort was just what the Knights needed considering they were shutout in their previous contest.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Futures was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 213 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've managed all season.
Futures' defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged three passes before it was all said and done. It was truly a group effort as Nevaeh Vasquez, Madison Durst, and Syrae Farani picked up one apiece.
Futures' first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-4-1. As for Encina, their defeat was their eighth straight on the road dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 0-6.
Futures will challenge Sacramento Adventist at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. Both have allowed few points on average, (Sacramento Adventist: 11.1, Futures: 17.3) so any points scored will be well earned. As for Encina, they are on the road again on Friday to play Foresthill at 4:30 p.m. Foresthill's defense has only allowed 16.1 points per game this season, so Encina's offense will have their work cut out for them.
