West Valley 42, Arroyo Valley 10

Arroyo Valley, which falls to 1-1 overall, watched its drives stall out and its offense plagued by mistakes. Regardless, Coach Marcus Soward was pleased with the overall effort of his team.

"We started off playing hard and then we started to get frustrated,'' Soward said. "We've got a lot to learn."

Arroyo Valley's lone first-half scoring highlight was a 32-yard field goal by Yael Jimenez. The Hawks got 119 first-half rushing yards from Demarcus White before he went down to injury.

In the second half, West Valley unloaded one big play after another against the Hawks.

Early into the third quarter, Richardson made a great catch on a deep pass from Aguirre to race 69 yards for the touchdown.

On West Valley's next possession, after a poor punt, Richardson took a handoff and raced 32 yards for a score.

Richardson finished the game with 230 all-purpose yards for the Mustangs, who are now 2-0.

Arroyo fumbled on its next possession at its own 19 and two plays later Richardson was back in the endzone.

Soward said his team did a good job defensively against West Valley, but allowed too many big plays.

"To have the ball in the red-zone so many times and not put it in is disheartening," he said.

In the fourth quarter, after West Valley put another touchdown on the scoreboard, Arroyo Valley was finally able to score on a 2-yard keeper by quarterback Javon Williams.
