From start to finish, the Rangers dominated East Central in the most lopsided football game the team has played all year, 62-17

Outgaining the Hornets 466 yards to only 238, East Central had no hopes of containing a high powered offense and a stifling defense.

Offensively wide receiver Derek Housler had a standout performance hauling in four catches for 147 yards and two touchdowns. The defense caused two turnovers and held East Central to only 17 points. In a game where the halftime lead was 48-0, plenty of playing time was seen not only from the starters but from all of the backups too.

This win was the strongest for the team this year. As momentum continues to build, they get ready to enter the thick of their schedule with a game coming up against Madison and the beginning of district play with two tough opponents in Steele and Canyon. From here on out, there are no easy games.
