Sonora, Chigozie Anusiem continue turnaround in 42-0 victory at Bolsa Grande

One of the best turnaround stories of the Orange County football season added another stirring chapter Thursday night.

Cal committed cornerback Chigozie Anusiem intercepted two passes, including one returned 41 yards for a touchdown in the first half, and caught another score to lead Sonora to a 42-0 victory at Bolsa Grande.

The Raiders and second-year coach Daniel Morales improved to 4-0, one season after finishing 0-10.

Quarterbacks Ryan Martinez and Danny Marshall also tossed touchdown passes while running backs Tommy Mendrin and Chandler Thompson rushed for touchdowns.

Martinez tossed two TDs, including a 43-yarder to Anusiem on the Raiders’ first possession. Anusiem caught a quick out at wide receiver and blazed along the sideline en route to the end zone.

His interception and the extra-point by Blake Tourville made it 28-0 with 9:40 left in the first half.

Sonora plays at Aliso Niguel (3-1) next Thursday to close out nonleague play. Raiders open the Freeway League by playing host to Fullerton at La Habra.

Bolsa Grande (1-4) received a late interception from Raymond Lopez.
