10 Shot - HS Football - Pomona at Ralston Valley

HS Football – Cross Town Rivalry

After a high scoring, close early game, everyone was expecting a great second game, and typically when it is Ralston Valley and Pomona, you are guaranteed a knock down drag out fight.  It was sure to be a back and forth affair between the Panthers and Mustangs.  That was, until the game started.  Pomona did something I was not expecting, and that Ralston Valley had no answer for.  While on offense, the Panthers ran 99% of their plays out of the wildcat formation.  Pomona Panthers senior running Chris Marquez back took the snaps from center and with the exception of a couple pass attempts, he ran 32 times for 257 yards and three touchdowns against the stunned Mustangs. Ralston Valley had no answer for Marquez as he racked up an average of just over 8 yards a carry and broke for 52 yards on one run.

In the second half, the Mustangs found their offensive rhythm, but Pomona had built up too much of a lead for Ralston Valley to come back from.  Pomona would hold on to win, 42-30 and move to 6-1 overall.

Here is my 10 Shot from the game.
