AURORA | Armani Patterson and Donavon Cooks used their legs to help make it a happy Homecoming for the Rangeview football team Friday night.
The hard-running due each rushed for more than 200 yards and combined for six touchdown on the ground as the Raiders rolled to a 55-6 victory over Hinkley in front of a large crowd at Aurora Public Schools Stadium.
Coach Mike Holmes’ Rangeview team finished with 530 yards rushing and seven touchdowns on the ground in all and scored defensively on a Michael Bufmack fumble return as the Raiders (2-4) got a winning start in 5A Metro 2 League play.
