Ventura, CA — James Blanks ran for 120 yards and two TDs and also threw a TD pass and Elijah Paris threw two TDs passes as the host Bulldogs (1-2) won their Channel League opener at home. “We played better for sure,” Buena coach Ryan Bolland said. “We were a lot more consistent, which is something we had talked about. … It was nice to see us take strides in that area.” Jackson Carter caught two TD passes and blocked extra point. Moises Lantigua blocked a punt. “Our special teams play was really good,” Bolland said. Buena will host Pacifica this Friday.
