Chandler had won three straight at home, but on Thursday they bumped up to 4-1 to make it four. They claimed a resounding 49-10 victory over the O'Connor Eagles. The matchup was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 35-10.
It was another big night for Will Mencl, who threw for 438 yards and six touchdowns while completing 71.9% of his passes, and also rushed for 46 yards. Those six passing touchdowns gave him a new career-high. Skyler Ormita was in the mix too, providing Chandler with three TDs.
Chandler didn't let much get past them through the air: they limited O'Connor to a completion percentage of just 44.4%. That dominant aerial defense primarily came from four players: Jayden Arnold, Jacob Najor, Brayden Nesbitt, and Kamari Crawford, who each logged one passes deflected. Given Mencl's standout performance, it's clear O'Connor's secondary just wasn't on the same level.
Chandler's defense didn't let Carson Craig., get away unscathed either: they got into the backfield for six sacks. Arnold was particularly dangerous to the passing game, picking up three sacks himself.
As for O'Connor, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-4. While losing is never fun, they can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Arizona football rankings (they are ranked 26th, while Chandler is ranked fourth).
Despite the loss, O'Connor still got an impressive performance from Jeremy Adeyanju, who rushed for 94 yards and one score on only 12 carries. Adeyanju got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 60 yards.
Coming up, after each having a week off, Chandler and Perry will shake off the cobwebs and hit the field against one another at 7:00 p.m. on October 10. As for O'Connor, they will welcome Centennial at 7:00 p.m. on October 3. The game will give the Eagles their first taste of in-conference action this season.
