SONOMA >> Vincent Rave rushed for 105 yards and two touchdowns while Julian Rascon and Caleb Campbell also had TD runs as the junior varsity Westshore Cardinals beat Sonoma 31-0 in Mendo-Lake Empire Junior Football League action Saturday in Sonoma.
Josh King completed a 20-yard touchdown pass to Noah Freeman while Obie Knight had a conversion run.
Westshore (1-1) also had a pair of touchdown runs called back while squaring its season record. Sonoma fell to 0-2.
“Our offensive line did a great job all game opening holes for our backs and making great blocks to keep the offense moving,” Westshore head coach Vince Rave said. “It was a great day offensively because so many of our players contributed. We had multiple kids step up and make plays when their number was called.”
Rave and King both had a team-high seven tackles followed by Knight, Mayson Williams and Cruz Munoz with five apiece. Anthonee Lopez added our total tackles, including a shared ack with Cesar Gonzales. Rascon finished with four total tackles and Gonzales had three tackles, including the shared sack with Lopez.
“Defensively our boys did a great job rallying to the football and making group tackles,” Rave said. “They played aggressive, physical football and, most importantly, played together.”
Added Rave, “Watching this group continue to come together and pitch a shutout against Sonoma was awesome to see. This was a complete team effort, and I couldn’t be more proud of these kids and the way they competed for Westshore.”
All of the league’s teams are off this coming Saturday for the Labor Day holiday. Westshore returns to action Saturday, Sept. 12 at home against Cloverdale (1-1).
