Source: Albuquerque Journal, N.mini storageM.Oct. 12--ESPAnOLA -- It wasn't pretty, but Santa Fe coach Ray Holladay will take it.The Demons (2-4, 1-0 District 2-4A) overcame three turnovers -- and the loss of a key player -- to top host Espanola Valley, 27-6, on Friday in both teams' district opener."I don't feel we played very well at all," Holladay said. "We fumbled twice inside the 10, and threw an interception -- we turned over the ball too many times."But we persevered and found a way to win."But despite the win, the Demons sustained a big blow in attempting to defend their district title -- they will be without Robert Corriz for one game. The junior quarterback was ejected after Santa Fe's final score for inappropriate conduct after his successful 2-point conversion run. He will miss next week's pivotal district matchup against Los Alamos.Holladay, however, remained hopeful."The theme of our season is 'Next man up,' " he said. "This one was not an injury; this one was a lack of self-control. But we'll find a way to get it done."Demons' senior backup quarterback Taylor Cherwinski is currently recovering from an injury, but may be cleared for next week's contest. If he can't go, freshman Adrian Blea will get his first start."I'm excited," Blea said. "I know we can step it up in practice and push ourselves to get it done. We just have to carry the momentum from this win into Los Alamos."Despite a sloppy first half, with a combined five turnovers, Santa Fe emerged with a 19-0 lead at the break, as the Demons coughed the ball up twice, but still found the end z儲存ne three times.Santa Fe capitalized on the first of three first-half Espanola Valley turnovers, recovering a Sundevil fumble at their 42-yard line and going four plays to the end zone. Rayes Montano scored with a 26-yard run, and after the missed extra point, the Demons led 6-0 with 3 minutes left in the opening quarter. The Demons' second scoring drive one series later was set up by a Matt Lopez interception. Lopez advanced the ball to the Demons 34-yard line, and Santa Fe needed nine plays to return to the end zone. This time, Isaac Romero recorded the score, taking the ball in from the 18-yard line. After a failed 2-point attempt at 9:31 in the second period, Santa Fe led 12-0.Santa Fe's final score came on its last possession of the half, marching 51 yards off the Sundevils third turnover. Mario Holladay capped off the eight-play drive with an 11-yard scoring run. The two first-half fumbles by Santa Fe were recovered by Espanola Valley's Isaac Serrano.The Sundevils (1-6, 0-1) finally got on the scoreboard with 1:49 left in the third quarter on a 58-yard run by LucasBustos, who finished with a team-high 72 yards on 12 carries. But Santa Fe countered with seven-play, 58-yard drive for its final score. Romero recorded his second score of the game, running the ball in from the 11-yard line. Corriz converted the 2-point conversion before being ejected from the contest.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Albuquerque Journal (Albuquerque, N.M.)
