SACRAMENTO, CA (MPG) – The first two weeks of the 2022 high school sports season have not been kind to the Cordova varsity football team.

The Lancers (0-2) lost their first game of the season by 34 points at home to Bella Vista on August 19. Given the lopsided loss, one would think there’s nowhere to go but up for Cordova, right? Wrong!

Even with an extra day of rest before their next game, things somehow got worse for the Lancers. Cordova lost on the road at El Camino (2-0) by a score of 41-0 on Saturday night. Through two games under interim head coach and alumnus Kyle Williams, the Lancers have been outscored 89-14.

Cordova senior quarterback Kevin Lewis completed only 1-of-5 passing attempts for seven yards. His one completion went to junior Ruvim Kravchuk. Lewis, who is a dual-threat QB, had much more success on the ground, rushing 15 times for 114 yards (7.6 average).

Lewis has been the one bright spot for the Lancers so far this season. The 5-foot-10 senior also plays defensive back and was tied for a team-high in tackles with seven. Junior Aleksey Medvedeva also had seven total tackles. Four other Cordova players had five tackles each.

One of those four is defensive end, Michael Brown. The 6-foot-4, 188-pound junior also had two quarterback hurries. Stats from the Eagles’ offensive explosion were not made available by press time.

The Lancers will attempt to rebound from the back-to-back losses when they play at Rio Linda (1-1) on Friday. El Camino will go on the road for the first time this season and play at Foothill. Kickoff for both games is scheduled for 7 p.m.
