Buena Park’s McDonald Leads the Way Past Sonora, 55-12

Buena Park rolled up 598 yards in total offense and routed Sonora, 55-12, in a Freeway League game Friday night in front of about 800 at La Habra High School in a game that lasted nearly three hours.

Buena Park (8-1, 4-0 in league) had 443 yards rushing in 36 carries among five ballcarriers. Sophomore George McDonald led the way with 171 yards and three touchdowns in 10 carries. He scored on runs of 55, five and 62 yards.

Senior Angel Barrios wasn’t far behind with 154 yards in nine carries and scored on runs of eight, 87 and four yards.

Barrios also had an impressive night as a receiver. He had three catches for 115 yards, including a 67-yard pass from quarterback Geno Robles on the last play of the first half. The score gave Buena Park a 35-10 lead.

Barrios, who had 269 yards in total offense, played only one series in the second half, rushing twice for eight yards.

Robles was seven of 15 for 155 yards and one touchdown. He also scored on a three-yard run.

Buena Park can clinch the league title with a victory over Troy next Friday.

Senior Kurtis Lucero scored Sonora’s only touchdown on a 63-yard pass off a reverse option from wing back Todd Fletcher to tie it, 7-7, with 7:19 left in the first quarter. Lucero led Sonora (3-6, 1-3) with six catches for 135 yards.

But it was all Buena Park from there.
