MONTPELIER - Soda Springs rushed for 312 yards in a dominating 39-0 win over host Bear Lake on Friday.

The Cardinals (2-0) are undefeated on the season after going 0-8 last season. They scored 18 points in the second quarter to pull away to a 25-0 halftime lead.

Senior Tanner Passey rushed for a team-high 149 yards and three touchdowns, while junior Bradyn Bailey piled up 87 yards and a touchdown on the ground and added a 3-yard touchdown reception.

"They're both quick. We just rotate them," Soda Springs assistant coach Scott Gambles said. "Our offense just played really well."

The Cardinals' defense wasn't too far behind. It held Bear Lake to 81 yards on the ground and none in the air.

"Our defense played well again this week," Gambles said. "A couple of times, we bent but didn't break. We let them down inside our 10-yard line, but we held them."

Soda Springs travels to play Firth next week.
