SAN DIEGO – The West Hills Wolf Pack won their fourth-straight game, shutting out the Serra Conquistadors in the second half for a 31-14 road victory Friday night.
Wolf Pack junior quarterback JORDIN YOUNG accounted for three touchdowns, including a pair of long touchdown passes to “Mr. Friday Night” CADE WEAVER.
West Hills came in as the expected favorite, but the Conquistadors were thinking their upset bid was possible by halftime.
Serra got the first score with two minutes left in the first quarter on a 30-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Timmy Zebroski to B.G. Gambles to open the scoring.
