Malik Lindsey rolls as Shadow Ridge tops Eldorado

Malik Lindsey ran for 123 yards and two touchdowns and added a touchdown catch Friday as Shadow Ridge rolled to a 51-0 road win over Eldorado.

Coming off a 1-9 season and having gone through its fair share of years without a season-opening win, Shadow Ridge (1-0) took the lead right away when Lindsey rumbled 44 yards for a touchdown off a fullback dive on the team’s first offensive play of the season.

After Kaejin Smith ran in a 2-point conversion, Lindsey added a second touchdown when he took a short swing pass from Kody Presser and turned it into an 18-yard score with 2:30 left in the first quarter. Travis Boston ran in another 2-point try to make it 16-0.

Big plays were the theme for Shadow Ridge, as Elisha Young took a toss sweep down the right sideline for a 78-yard scoring run with 4:40 left in the second quarter and a 24-0 lead. Audrey Nellems later added a 97-yard return for a score on the second-half kickoff for the Mustangs.

Young finished with 121 yards on four carries, and the Mustangs limited Eldorado to 99 yards of total offense.

Jaime Rangel was 10 of 25 passing for 85 yards and an interception. Andres Jimenez amassed 34 yards on six catches for the Sundevils (0-2).
