Given that consistent dominance, it should come as no surprise that they blew the Sheldon Huskies out of the water with a 42-0 final score.

Laguna Creek was led to victory by Levi Ramos and Ryan Eddy. Ramos rushed for 35 yards and a pair of scores, while Eddy gained 79 total yards and a touchdown.

Another big playmaker for Laguna Creek was Keian Smith, who returned a punt for a touchdown.
On the other side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Laguna Creek's defense and their three sacks. Kaden Harris was especially locked on to Sheldon's QB and sacked him twice. Laguna Creek received some extra help from Josiyah Horton, whose fumble return for a touchdown made for one of the most unforgettable moments.
