The Sultan Turks will welcome the Centralia Tigers at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Sultan has three straight victories, Centralia has seven straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
Last Saturday, Sultan really took it to Jefferson for the full four quarters, racking up a 34-7 win on the road. The result was nothing new for the Turks, who have now won four contests by 21 points or more so far this season.
Sultan's win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Julio Vargas Jr, who picked up 35 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 31 yards. That's the most rushing yards Vargas Jr has posted since back in September of 2023. Hunter Ansell was another key back, rushing for 73 yards and a touchdown.
He was just one part of a punishing run game: Sultan was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 234 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've managed all season.
Meanwhile, Friday just wasn't the day for Centralia's offense. They were outmatched by WF West at home and fell 49-0.
