El Dorado wins easily to snap losing streak
Comments 0 | Recommend 0ORANGE — Following consecutive losses to close out its nonleague season, El Dorado entered Thursday night’s Century League opener on a mission to remove the sour taste of defeat.
Behind running back Brock Dunn’s 134 yards rushing and three touchdowns, the Golden Hawks opened league with a 44-0 victory over host El Modena.
El Dorado (3-2-1, 1-0) set a physical tone early, opening the game with a five-play, 63-yard drive that featured only runs. Dunn capped the drive, taking a sweep 39 yards to give the Golden Hawks a 7-0 lead.
El Dorado added another score with 4:38 left in the first quarter on Dunn’s 81-yard TD plunge that wrapped up an eight-play, 27-yard drive.
The Golden Hawks scored on their first four possessions of the first half, taking over in Vanguards territory twice.
Leading 21-0 with just over 11 minutes remaining in the second quarter, a fumble recovery on the El Modena 25 gave the Golden Hawks an opportunity to put the game out of reach early.
Dunn scored the last of his three touchdowns on a 15-yard run through the heart of the El Modena defense, making the score 28-0.
The Vanguards (2-4, 0-1) were held to 56 yards of offense in the first half.
El Modena running back Ryan Arballo carried 27 times for 116 yards.
