Durango runs past Boulder City

Durango’s Alhaji-Ibrahim Kamara rushed for 168 yards and three touchdowns on Friday as the Trailblazers routed visiting Boulder City, 35-0.

With quarterback Kaden Renshaw out of action Kamara took the snaps himself, and the Wildcat system worked for Durango, as Kamara scored three times in the first quarter.

Without Renshaw, the Trailblazers (6-0) kept things almost completely on the ground, attempting just four passes. The running game was quite effective from the start, as Kamara took Durango’s first play from scrimmage 49 yards for a touchdown. On the next drive, Kamara was again the finisher, this time from 22 yards out. On the subsequent Boulder City drive, a lateral hit the ground and was recovered by the Durango. Jayson Johnson scored on a 20-yard run on the next play to push Durango’s lead to 20-0.

Kamara added a 59-yard TD run with 1:14 to go in the first quarter, and the Trailblazers led 27-0.

Durango’s Justice Stroy caught a 45-yard TD pass from Byron Simmons with 14 seconds left in the first half, and the 2-point conversion made it 35-0 at the break.

Durango held Boulder City (1-7) were held to 24 yards of offense.
