CN 99 KAHLIO VAETOE RUMBLES FOR FIRST DOWN YARDAGE
The Cardinals gave up the most points by its defense so far this season when they allowed host Armijo to score three TDs, but for the second time in three games the Cardinals scored over 55-points as the offense rolled up 561 total yards with a whopping 433 yards coming from the rushing game.
It was a big play game as four of the Cardinal Newman TDs came on plays that went for huge yards. Two Newman running backs rushed for over 100-yards and one almost did it in one play.
"Crazy game with all those big plays," remarked Cardinal Newman head coach Richard Sanchez
Senior Jamari Gentry only had three carries but two of them went for TDs of 80 and 51 yards and he finished with 139 yards rushing. Junior Sam Keating was the workhorse, if you can call 10 carries a lot of work, and he finished with 102 yards and one touchdown.
Flashy sophomore Zion Cargill only had two touches and he turned both into scores with an 86-yard run to the house and a 29-yard pass reception for a touchdown.
Senior quarterback Jayson Colter had 78 yards passing and one TD, senior quarterback Wyatt Knechtle connected on both of his passes for 50 yards and one TD, and Freshman quarterback Tino Retamoza didn't complete any of his four passes, but he ran for 29 yards and one touchdown.
Cardinal Newman now hosts Bishop O'Dowd-Oakland.
The 2-1 Dragons have a loss to McClymonds-Oakland but they also have an impressive 24-20 win on the road at Monte Vista.
