FRIDAY NIGHT RECAPS
No. 1 La Cueva 21, No 9 Volcano Vista 0 - Final
In a highly anticipated matchup, No. 1 La Cueva secured a 21-0 victory over No. 9 Volcano Vista in a game cut short by lightning at Community Stadium on Friday night. The contest, played before a large West Side crowd, saw La Cueva extend its dominance in the Class 6A football ranks.
The action was intense from the start, with both defenses showing their mettle. Volcano Vista’s defense made notable stops, halting La Cueva twice from scoring inside the 5-yard line during the first half. Key plays included a crucial stop on a fourth-and-short and an interception in the end zone.
La Cueva finally broke the deadlock in the second quarter. Quarterback Cam Dyer connected with Tanner Montano on a 29-yard touchdown pass, with Montano and his blockers doing most of the heavy lifting on the play.
Volcano Vista struggled to capitalize on their opportunities. They reached the La Cueva 3-yard line on their opening drive but were thwarted by a false start and a missed 22-yard field goal. Their subsequent drive ended with a fumble, giving La Cueva a short field that Cheeto Lumbrera III exploited with a 4-yard touchdown run to make it 14-0 at halftime.
Shortly after the third quarter began, La Cueva quarterback Cameron Dyer's 41-yard touchdown run extended the Bears' lead to 21-0. As the storm approached, the game was halted immediately following Dyer’s score. La Cueva improves to 1-0 and will head to Arizona next week, while Volcano Vista drops to 0-1.
