Game Recap: Desert Ridge v. Boulder Creek

Desert Ridge cruises to a 38-14 win on the Cox 7 game of the week

Recap

Desert Ridge scored quick and early and never looked back in their 38-14 win over Boulder Creek on the Cox 7 Thursday game of the week.

It took 30 seconds for Desert Ridge to score. QB Parker Rasmussen hit Damani Mosby for an 86 yard TD pass. 7-0 DR.

The Jaguar D forced a punt and the offense went right back to work. Joey Counts had several tough runs and Rasmussen scampered in from a few yards out to build the lead to 14-0 in the first quarter.

Rasmussen and Counts would each score in the second half to take a 28-0 lead into halftime.

Boulder Creek had two chances to score in the half and stay in the game but came up short on a 4th and 1 play in the redzone and missed a short field goal.

The third quarter didn't have quite as much scoring, with DR adding three more points to their lead on a Dallas Witlow field goal.

It wasn't until the 11:06 mark in the 4th that BC finally got on the board. Trevor Bonafasi found RB Stephen Landeros to cut the lead to 31-7.

The teams traded scores at the end of the 4th, DR on a Rasmussen to Rudy Jiminez TD pass and BC on a Zach Labno fumble recovery in the endzone. Final 38-14 Desert Ridge.

Bottomline

No real easy way to put it but Desert Ridge is the better team. They won all three phases of the game.
