After Johnson and Vi- au hooked up on a 70-yard scoring play on the first drive of the game, Sanger came back with a drive field by big runs from quarterback Josaiah Du- arte and running back Jacob Gonzalez to move it to the Clovis 22. The drive stalled, and a fourth down pass into the end zone was intercepted by Carlos Mack.
Clovis then broke the game open, getting scoring runs of 1 and 15 yards from Risley to close out the quarter, and just before halftime Johnson and Viau teamed up on a 15-yard TD.
Sanger finally got on the board in the third quarter when Duarte connected with Markie Botello for a 31-yard touchdown on 4th and 7. The Apaches' other touchdown came in the fourth quarter on a 1-yard run by running back Ashton Rodriguez.
