Lompoc turned to its vaunted run game in the Channel League football opener at Santa Ynez, and the Braves romped to a 45-7 victory on Friday.

Sheldon Canley Jr. had runs of 44 and 60 yards for scores and Oscar Tenorio bolted or a 39-yard touchdown run against a banged-up Santa Ynez defense.

Five of the Braves touchdowns came on running plays. Leondre Colemand had a 10-yard scoring run.

Quarterback Cavin Ross hooked up with Wyoming commit Ryan Morgan on a 73-yard pass play.

Santa Ynez scored its only touchdown on a run by Anthony Gills.

Lompoc improves to 4-2 on the season while Santa Ynez falls to 2-4.
