Majae Madison, Cheyenne run wild against Rancho

Majae Madison ran for two touchdowns Friday as host Cheyenne’s football team rolled to a 48-0 win over Rancho.

Cheyenne (3-0) delivered one big offensive play after another and never punted in the game.

Joshua Rose got things going when he found Tayjon Bullock for a 20-yard touchdown pass to finish the game’s opening drive. The senior was 5 of 9 passing for 87 yards.

However, it was the ground game and defense which propelled the Desert Shields quickly past Rancho (1-2).

Madison had only seven carries, but two were touchdown runs of 40 and 33 yards. Luis Horna added a 32-yard TD run and finished with 58 yards on six carries.Javier Cone, a reserve running back, broke off an 87-yard scoring run late in the third quarter.

Cheyenne also scored on a lateral-pass play with Rose tossing a lateral to tight end Mike Reed near the left sideline before Reed launched the ball to a wide-open Rayvion Brown for a 50-yard touchdown.

Defensively, Cheyenne easily handled Rancho’s double-wing rushing attack, limiting the Rams to 69 yards on 36 attempts.

The Rams ended a 19-game skid with a 30-7 win over Western last week.
