Fresh start WIN from Page 1 rushing touchdown. “He’s resourceful and kept us alive in the pocket, that’s what he does well,” Craft said about Barton. Leading the running attack was freshman runningback Lawrence Starks with 93 yards and one touchdown on 16 attempts. RCC also had a strong defensive performance against the Comets. The Tigers shutout the Comets in the first and fourth quarter and held them to 26 rushing yards for the game. The defense showed flashes of the explosiveness it had exhibited earlier in the season by putting
pressure on the quarterback and stopping the rush. The Comets managed only two field goals in the first half. RCC recorded five sacks. Sophomore defensive lineman Randell Turner had two and a half sacks and finished with six total tackles. “I feel like we played great, we played fast, we got to the ball pretty quick,” Turner said. “We improved a lot this week, we became a stronger defense.” Freshman kicker Ricardo Chavez kept the pressure on Palomar making all four of his field goal attempts. “I think Ricardo Chavez is the best field goal kicker in the state,” Craft said. RCC’s next game is Oct. 23 at Mt. San Antonio College.
