RANCHO CORDOVA, CA (MPG) – Spirits were high with fans packed in the stands for homecoming Friday night in Rancho Cordova.
Unfortunately for the hundreds of Lancers fans in attendance, the good times did not last for long, at least on the field. In the first game of Greater Sacramento League (GSL) play, Cordova was soundly defeated by Foothill (3-3, 1-0 GSL).

The Mustangs scored 20 points in each of the first and second quarters and led 40-6 at halftime. Foothill added 14 in the third and eight in the fourth to ultimately win 62-6. Sixty-two is the most points allowed in a game by the Lancers this season. All seven of Cordova’s opponents have scored at least 41 points.
The Lancers’ only score of the game came in the second quarter on a breakaway 50-yard rushing touchdown from do-it-all senior captain Kevin Lewis. Cordova has lost all seven games its played so far this season.
However, the Lancers overall record is (1-6). That is because their week two opponents El Camino, who beat Cordova 41-0, were forced to forfeit the win. The Eagles had an ineligible player suit up and play against the Lancers who switched schools from Del Campo, to Rio Americano then to El Camino, according to The Sacramento Bee.

Cordova’s record may have a one in the win column, but the reality is, the Lancers have not won a game yet this season under interim coach Kyle Williams. Cordova will attempt to regroup and seek its first victory Friday on the road at Natomas (4-2, 1-0 GSL) with kickoff scheduled for 7:15 p.m.
