CLOVERDALE >> Vincent Rave rushed for 149 yards and two touchdowns as the pee wee Westshore Cardinals avenged their lone loss of the regular season, beating Napa 13-6 to claim the Mendo-Lake Empire Junior Football League championship Saturday at Cloverdale High School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur boys came out hungry for this win,\u201d Westshore head coach Vince Rave said. \u201cThey wanted it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Westshore (11-1) grabbed a 7-0 lead on the first of Rave\u2019s two touchdown runs and a conversion pass from Josh King to Noah Freeman. Napa (10-1-1) answered with a touchdown but failed on the conversion attempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cardinals gained some much-needed breathing room on Rave\u2019s second score, a 50-yard run, in the third quarter, a touchdown made possible by blocks from Elius Mendoza and Obie Knight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cElius Mendoza had some strong runs,\u201d Rave said. \u201cMendoza and Knight had some great blocks to open some huge holes for our backs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Westshore\u2019s offense was able to get the job done, so was the team\u2019s defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur boys rallied to the ball and made some great group tackles,\u201d Rave said. \u201cWe were able to contain their quarterback and running back, stopping them a couple of times on fourth downs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freeman\u2019s interception with 40 seconds left in the game sealed the victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rave led the team with six total tackles while Mendoza, Josh King and Cesar Gonzalez had three apiece. Rave also cited strong play from Blake Sage, Hayes Eagle and Asher McNabb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to his extra-point pass, King completed a 20-yard pass later in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur boys showed up and played great football together,\u201d Rave said. \u201cThey played as a unit and played clean. We didn\u2019t have one penalty this game.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Added Rave, \u201cIt was exciting to see all their hard work pay off. These boys have worked every practice with max effort and great attitudes. This group is awesome. They were always great teammates to each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur group of coaches couldn\u2019t be prouder to be a part of this team. They represented our community well.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
