Sports
Wolves devour Dragons, 47-0
American Canyon’s size and speed doom frustrated Sonoma Valley team
By CHRISTIAN KALLEN
INDEX-TRIBUNE SPORTS EDITOR
It was a promising start, after all.
When the Sonoma Valley Dragons
kicked off to visiting American
Canyon Friday night, the Wolves
fumbled and the Dragons took over
just 16 yards from pay dirt. A score
seemed inevitable, even ordained.
But four rushing attempts moved
the ball exactly four feet the wrong
direction, and the Wolves took con-
trol, never to give it back.
“They were just, bigger, stronger,
faster. Our kids got frustrated and
couldn’t get out of it,” said Head
Coach Bob Midgley. “That’s prob-
ably the most physical team we’ve
played to this point.”
Overwhelmed by the visiting
team’s size and speed, the Dragons
were unable to stop a series of long
drives and turnovers that resulted
in three first quarter touchdowns,
five in the first half.
Meanwhile the Dragon offense
went nowhere. Quarterback Trent
Garrett, who went down with a
bruised rib early in the second half,
and Jake Baker had identical pass-
ing records – two throws, no recep-
tions, one interception each. Total
passing yards: 0.
