Albuquerque - Wednesday Night the No. 10 ranked Volcano Vista Hawks sent a clear message to the entire state: We are the real deal. The Hawks routing No. 7 Sandia by 34 points. After being tied 3-3 in the first quarterback Volcano Vista jumped to an 11-3 lead when Senior Quarterback Josh Williams connected with receiver David Cormier.
Sandia would bobble a punt which would give the ball back to Volcano Vista on the 5-yard line, but penalties would push the Hawks back to the 28-yard line. Facing a 3rd and 28, Williams found Cormier again to make it 18-3, and then a few plays later Josh Williams would score on a 10-yard rushing touchdown.
“Before the game I was out here throwing and I felt better than I ever had really. I was feeling it and I knew we could explode like this. My offensive line, my receivers, and the defense all played great tonight,” said Williams who finished the game with 275-yards passing and two touchdowns.
The Hawks scored their final touchdown of the night when Allan Rodriguez returned an interception 91-yards with no time left on the clock. Volcano Vista now 1-0 takes on Manzano in week 0, Sandia now 0-1 will take on Atrisco Heritage.
