Kyle Rachels threw for nearly 300 yards to go with four touchdowns, as the visiting Manteca sophomore football team crushed rival Sierra 64-13 Friday at Daniel Teicheira Memorial Stadium.

Sierra (0-3 Valley Oak League, 1-3-1 overall) hung with the Buffaloes (3-0 VOL) for more than a quarter but was staggered by two big plays right before halftime. Rachels first connected with Presley Keltner for a 64-yard bomb, then Vincent Ferro returned an interception 35 yards to make it 42-13.

Ferro finished with three touchdown receptions, the others spanning 40 and 15 yards. Ferro also had an 8-yard rushing touchdown, Cam Allison ran one in from 57 yards out and Kobe Shipley contributed two scores on 1-yard plunges. Rachels ended up 13 of 21 for 293 yards.

Matt Ender racked up five tackles and an interception for the Manteca defense. Isaac Maldonado also had five tackles.

Damon Duran accounted for both of Sierra’s touchdowns — a 90-yard kickoff return and a 4-yard run. Pablo Salceda and JP Peterson were the Timberwolves’ defensive leaders.
