El Cajon Valley Braves 35, Southwest 8
The El Cajon Valley Braves were just too much for the Southwest Raiders tonight as the Braves defend their turf and improve to (3-1) on the season with this victory. Southwest is now (0-5) looking to get their first win in week 6. The Braves quarterback Tyson Smith was the star of the night as he had four touchdowns that were all quarterback keepers. He also had a defensive interception which ended the game. The Brave’s running back Junior Rosas was the only other person to score besides Tyson. Rosas pounded in a 5 yard touchdown. El Cajon’s star running back Nathan McCullough started off strong despite having two long touchdowns taken back because of penalties. Nathan was injured early in the game with a concussion. The Raiders sophomore Joshua Sanchez was their play maker. Sanchez stands as 5 feet 5 inches and he was able to intercept a 6’6 wide receiver with a jump ball early in the game. Sanchez got a lot of carries and even though he wasn’t able to get the yards he would have liked, he showed great speed and athleticism. He is only a sophomore and will be a kid to keep on your watch list for the next two years. The final score of the game was El Cajon Valley Braves 35, Southwest Raiders 8.
