Sunnyside 61, Flowing Wells 0:
At Sunnyside, Mike Smith took the opening kickoff 85 yards for
a touchdown to set the tone for the Blue Devils' regional win.
After giving Sunnyside a 21-0 lead on a 79-yard pass play,
Smith found the end zone again with a 4-yard run to cap the
first-quarter scoring.
"He's a workhorse, a competitor," Sunnyside coach Richard
Sanchez said. "He's a tough kid (who) runs hard. You give him
the ball and he wants a touchdown. Every time he touches the
ball, he wants to score."
Smith finished with 102 rushing yards and four touchdowns. His
final touchdown came early in the second half. He then went to
the bench in favor of sophomore Jovan Stevenson.
Stevenson was the stalwart for Sunnyside (5-3, 3-0) in the
second half. He picked up three rushing touchdowns and
intercepted a pass. He finished the night with 10 carries for
90 yards.
Sunnyside's defense forced seven turnovers and limited Flowing
Wells (1-7, 0-3) to 44 yards on the ground.
