It was another big night for Blake Nycum, who threw for 352 yards and five touchdowns on perfect 10-for-10 passing. He has become a key player for Grant: the team is undefeated when he posts at least three passing touchdowns, but 3-4 otherwise. A healthy portion of Nycum's aerial production (89 yards to be exact) went to Damarcus Brown, who also brought in a receiving touchdown.
Wins are hard to come by when you can't run the rock, something Grant proved: they limited Cordova to a paltry 2.6 yards per carry. The team can thank Gary Tia for the heroic effort on defense: he. Grant's run defense has been on the up-and-up: they allowed 4.56 yards per carry earlier this season, but they've only allowed 13.17 on average over their last five games.
As for Cordova, their defeat was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 3-7. While losing is never fun, they can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' California football rankings (they are ranked 778th, while Grant is ranked 49th).
When it comes to explaining why Cordova lost, don't look at Trey Wallace. Despite the final result, he threw for 193 yards and one TD, and also rushed for 45 yards.
Grant will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Edison at 7:00 p.m. on the 14th. Cordova does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
