Shadow Ridge’s flawless offense flips script on Centennial — VIDEO

Shadow Ridge, so long bullied by Northwest League foe Centennial, was able to make things different at home Friday. An unstoppable Mustangs offense led the team to a 61-46 victory, Shadow Ridge’s first over the Bulldogs in 11 years.

“This is a huge win for our program,” Foster said. “Who would’ve thought we would score 61? That’s crazy. I’m just happy for our kids, they deserve that.”

The last four seasons, Centennial defeated Shadow Ridge by an average of nearly 40 points. The Mustangs offense made maintaining that average impossible Friday.

Shadow Ridge (5-1, 2-1 Northwest League) had 488 yards of offense, scored on its first eight drives and got a kickoff return for a touchdown right before halftime. The Mustangs’ only punt came with a minute left in the game, despite the team attempting only one pass and completing none.

Running back Malik Lindsey and quarterback Kody Presser formed a nearly perfect rushing duo, with Lindsey carrying inside and Presser outside. Lindsey had touchdown runs of 3, 73, 25 and 45 yards, and finished with 274 rushing yards on 32 carries.

Presser had one rushing score and accounted for 133 yards on 19 carries.

“They were playing pretty aggressive on the edge and we took advantage of that,” Foster said. “They wanted to take our pitch away and Presser had a heck of a game making our reads on the edge.”

Shadow Ridge scored touchdowns on all five of its offensive drives in the first half, to go along with the kick return touchdown, and led 44-27 at the break. The team then strung together two long scoring drives to start the second half, keeping the ball out of the hands of a Centennial offense that nearly matched the Mustangs point for point.

Bulldogs quarterback Jamaal Evans kept his team in the game by completing 13 of his 25 passes for 334 yards and scoring six combined touchdowns. Evans had seven completions of 20 yards or more, though Centennial’s explosive offense often put Lindsey and Presser back on the field quickly.

The Bulldogs (2-5, 1-3) punted just twice and turned the ball over once but still came out on the losing end. Shadow Ridge’s impressive firepower gave it a chance to be the bully on Friday.

“We wanted to make sure we had a pretty good lead at halftime and grind it out,” Foster said. “We knew these guys were going to score with us point for point. We just needed to possess the football.”
