Don't get wrapped up in any possible Richard Sanchez-to-Pima
rumors. Sunnyside's coach likes it just fine where he's at.
Tucson football fans may feel that Sanchez would be a good fit
to fill the coaching vacancy at Pima Community College.
Once again, Sanchez has a powerful Blue Devils team, as he
showed in a 61-0 win over visiting Flowing Wells (1-7, 0-3)
last night in a Class 5A South Region contest.
When asked if he would ever consider leaving Sunnyside for the
junior college ranks, Sanchez said he's fine where he is at.
"I am happy here, and I'm treated well here at Sunnyside,"
Sanchez said. "I can't leave here, because it would be too
hard."
Mike Smith wasted no time as he returned the opening kickoff
86 yards for a touchdown to put Sunnyside (5-3, 3-0) up 7-0
with just 15 seconds into the game.
Smith didn't stop there, and he later scored 3-, 4- and 5-yard
touchdowns.
"I don't think anybody can stop me," Smith said. "We had to
make a statement tonight, and we couldn't drop down to their
level."
Smith finished with 102 yards on 16 attempts.
Sunnyside capitalized on four early Flowing Wells turnovers.
At the end of the first quarter, Sunnyside led 27-0.
The Blue Devils put up 413 yards of total offense, including
273 yards on the ground. Jovan Stevenson added 90 rushing
yards for Sunnyside.
