McManus takes home the crown early

SANTEE­ (11-2-13) — The voting for Homecoming King presumably took place before West Hills destroyed Granite Hills 36-13 on Friday night (Nov. 1) at West Hills.

Otherwise, DANIEL McMANUS would have been wearing the crown with a unanimous tally.

“He’s a stud,” commented a Wolf Pack cheerleader after McManus was crowned king alongside ALICIA PHILO, the festivity’s queen.

That the ceremony took place after the game seemed fitting. During it, all McManus did was score two touchdowns, kick two field goals and boot four extra-point attempts for a total of 22 points as the Wolf Pack (7-2, 3-1) stoned Granite Hills (4-5, 1-3) to solidify its positioning in the Division II playoffs.

“It’s fun to be involved in the homecoming,” McManus said. “But I’m happier that we won the game.”

Among the elite kickers in the San Diego Section, McManus opened the scoring with a 32-yard field goal and added a chip-shot 23-yarder in the third quarter to give him 13 field goals this fall. With at least two games remaining, he is tied for fourth in section history in season field goals and only three off the mark set by John Cortney of St. Augustine in 1997.

While the night indeed belonged to McManus, a host of Wolf Packers contributed mightily to the victory.

Quarterback STEPHEN SCHINDLER threw for 201 yards and three touchdowns, completing 9-of-16 attempts without an interception for the eighth time this season (he has thrown only one interception all year).

Tailback NOAH YLAGAN rushed 17 times for 91 yards, caught a pass for 13 yards, recovered an onside kick when Granite was attempting a comeback and on defense put a huge hit on an Eagle receiver that thwarted a potential score.

On defense, the Wolf Pack simply shut down drive after drive, allowing only 6 points – after a pair of 15-yard penalties – and delivering 7 when JOHNNY ESPINOZA intercepted a pass and raced 61 yards for a TD in the fourth quarter.

West Hills also got a safety on an over-flung punt snap that was eventually kicked out of the end zone.

“It was a great team win,” Ylagan said. “On homecoming, we couldn’t ask for anything better. That’s how the Wolf Pack plays.”

Granite Hills saw glimpses of glory, but they were few and far between.

SETH COLLINS had a 7-yard TD run and an 81-yard interception return TD, but both were answered by West Hills in a timely manner.

One play after Collins’ first score, McManus maneuvered behind the Eagles’ secondary and was wide open downfield as Schindler tossed a perfect strike to him for a 65-yard touchdown catch-and-run.

Two minutes after Collins’ interception return, Espinoza ran his back for the final score.

“Everything went well,” Ylagan said. “The offense was really flowing tonight. It was one of our best offensive outputs of the year.

“Stephen Schindler ran the offense beautifully. I mean, he really RAN the offense. That was awesome to see.”

West Hills coach TAY SNEDDON had to agree: “As far as passing and rushing combined, this was our best offensive game. The offensive coordinator (SERGIO DIAZ) did a great job mixing things up and calling the right plays at the right time.

“In fact, the entire coaching staff did an outstanding job this week. They really had the kids prepared and in the right schemes all night.”

Routinely sluggish, the West Hills offense scored on its first three possessions to take a 17-6 lead into halftime.

Its first play resulted in a 20-yard pass completion from Schindler to PEANUT HERRADA, and eight plays later McManus boomed his first field goal for a 3-0 lead.

Next time out, Schindler connected with NOAH ORTIZ and RAPHY CARR on consecutive 19-yard pickups that led to a 5-yard TD pass from Schindler to McManus.

“Initially it was going to be a run,” McManus said, “but (Schindler) read the defense and checked to a pass. It was an easy slant route, and all I had to do was catch the ball.”

Following Collins’ first TD that made it 10-6, West Hills scored 11 seconds later as Schindler rolled out right, McManus did a little hitch-and-run move and wound up wide open for the seemingly easy 65-yard TD.

Said Granite Hills coach KELLAN COBBS: “We got punched in the mouth and didn’t respond well.”

The safety midway through the third quarter gave West Hills a 19-6 cushion, and McManus increased that to 22-6 with his 23-yard field goal at the end of an 11-play drive.

Early in the fourth quarter, the Wolf Pack drove a nail in the coffin when Ylagan rushed for gains of 14 and 16 yards, and then Schindler connected with Carr on a 36-yard scoring pass to make it 29-6.

Platooning at QB with Collins, CHRIS MEREDITH had a hot wing early for the Eagles, completing 9 of his first 12 passes for 91 yards, but he finished 11-of-23 for 101 yards. Collins was 4-of-6 for 39 yards with one interception. JOSH LONGBRAKE had six receptions for 76 yards.

West Hills was hoping for a Grossmont win over Helix so it could play for a league title next week at home against Grossmont, but Helix prevailed.

Still, Sneddon noted, “We were picked dead last in the preseason. We have a shot to finish second in a great league, and the worst we can do is third place.

“We like where we’re at. How do you not like 7-2?”

Granite Hills, a likely playoff pick in Division III, wraps up the regular season at home against Valhalla next Friday (Nov.8).

Helix claims Musket in a record shootout

© East County Sports.com
LA MESA ­ (11-2-13) — As a rule rivalries provide a season full of mystery. That hasn’t been the case when Helix and Grossmont have tangled in East County’s longest running football rivalry.

The Foothillers and Highlanders began their annual shootout for the trophy known as The Musket in 1951.

Unfortunately for the Foothillers, the San Diego Section’s longest running rivalry has been a one-shot affair.

Fact is, Grossmont has won only one game – in 1991 – and tied Helix twice during that stretch.

This is an old-fashioned, genuine shootout as the two teams scored in all eight possessions of the first half that left the No. 5 ranked Highlanders leading 35-21, skating to a 58-36 triumph.

The scoring parade continued in the second half when JALEN DAVIS returned the opening kickoff 82 yards for a touchdown, staking Helix to a 42-21 lead.

“We scored on every series except the last one,” said Helix coach TROY STARR. “We only punted one time and that was in our last possession.”

Helix sophomore quarterback MICHAEL AUSTIN completed 15 of 21 passes for 232 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for two scores to help Helix dominate the contest.

Those are pretty good numbers, but so were those by Grossmont quarterback ANTHONY LAWRENCE, who completed 19 of 29 passes for 333 yards and 3 touchdowns. He also scored twice on rushes.

Helix (7-2, 4-0 GHL) wrapped up the Grossmont Hills League championship in front of a full house at Grossmont High on Friday night (Nov. 1). The Hillers fell to 7-2, 2-1.

“That quarterback of theirs is really, really good,” Starr said of Lawrence. “But I think our guy (Austin) outplayed him.”

Lawrence is only 57 yards shy of breaking the San Diego Section career passing record. He needs 7 more touchdowns to tie the Section record for passing touchdowns in a season. Lawrence already owns the Section record for pass completions with 630.

Earlier in the game NATHAN STINSON broke loose for a 73-yard touchdown run for Helix, which tied the game 14-14 in the first quarter.

Davis accounted for 227 yards, while Stinson finished with 194 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

Grossmont had its moments on defense, including a PAT block by Justin Peace (56), who then teams with J.T. Barnes on a sack of Helix quarterback Michael Atkins. On the right, B.J. Gonzales (3) defends a pass to prevent a Scotties touchdown. (Photos by inda Byerline)

Shutouts abound in GVL play © East County Sports.com SANTEE (11-2-13) — Mount Miguel High limited Santana to just two first downs and a mind-boggling minus-48 yards rushing to clinch its fourth straight Grossmont Valley League title Friday night (Nov.1). The 10th-ranked Matadors, via a regular-season ending 53-0 victory, own a 15-0-1 record in four seasons of GVL action. “I think we should get a No. 3 seed (in the SDCIF Division II) playoffs,” said Mount Miguel coach SHAUN McDADE. “That would put us behind Madison and Saints.” Mount Miguel (8-2) opened its scoring against the Sultans on a touchdown pass from senior quarterback BRAD MORENO to senior JOVON RICHARDSON for a 15-yard TD strike. It was the first of two aerial strikes for Moreno. Moreno lofted a high floater for the left back corner of the end zone, as Richardson caught the pass behind the defender, who had his back turned to the quarterback. He landed with one foot inbounds before falling out of the end zone. Mount Miguel 's next score came on an interception return by DOMINIQUE ABLE covering 23 yards to score. Able was behind the receiver, as the pass was over the target. Able easily secured the pass near the left hash and took off to the middle of the field before cutting back inside and running quickly into the end zone. Moreno later found RASHAD HARPER for a 30-yard score in the first quarter, as Harper secured the high, deep pass while backpedaling behind the defender as they battled just inside the end zone. Senior kicker JOSUE BEAS had a huge night, booting field goals of 42, 31 and 25 yards for the Matadors. The Matadors defense, led by juniors TRAVIS DALY and MICHAEL NODALO, and seniors RASHAD TATE, RAY CAVALIER and KEITH LUSK, also recorded a safety in the second quarter. Senior BEN LOMIBAO had a 10-yard touchdown run in the third quarter to put the Matadors ahead 33-0. Although Lomibao rushed for 150 yards in part-time duty, he may have suffered a fractured leg. X-Rays and further examination have yet to determine the extent of the injury. Senior DAVAUGHN MURRAY added a 44-yard touchdown run in the third quarter for Mount Miguel while senior ANTHONY RODRIGUEZ had a 2-yard score in the fourth quarter. Overall, it was another night at the office for the Matadors' "lunch pail" offensive line crew up front, led by senior JAMES SAVE, DAVID DILLARD and KIM QUEZON. Santana senior OWEN BROWN caught two passes for 20 yards, while also leading the defense with nine tackles (six solo). Senior MARK JAGER and sophomore JAMES BRANSON also contributed five stops for the Sultans (1-2, 1-8). EL CAPITAN 21, MONTE VISTA 0 – Both Monte Vista and El Capitan were playing for playoff seedings. With a healthy THOMAS WALKER at quarterback, Monte Vista wanted to start where they had left off early in the second half two weeks ago with a Monte Vista lead, and a 4-game winning streak on the line. Unfortunately the Monarchs came up empty, being shut out by the visiting El Capitan Vaqueros, 21-0. After winning the coin toss, the Monarchs decided, as most teams do nowadays, to defer til the second half. Coach RON HAMAMOTO might have second-guessed himself as the visiting Vaqueros scored on their first possession on a speedy BRAD CAGLE scamper up the middle for a 32-yard early score, 7-0 El Cap. The Monarchs played from bad field position the whole night, as the El Capitan special teams, held Monte Vista to just 51 yards in returns. Twice the Vaqueros’ CLAY CROMWELL averaged 53 yards on punts to pin down the Monarchs’ offense. However the contest was still in hand as far as Monte Vista was concerned, defensively holding the Vaqueros to 7-0 at intermission and a pick by defensive back, JESSE RIVAS to boot. The Monarchs started the second half with halfway decent field position as return specialist D.J. DOSIER returned for 30 yards to begin the second half, but was all for naught as the El Capitan defense stripped the ball from running back, JEMEIL JACKSON's grasp, recovered by safety JARRED TURNER, who had been out of the line-up for the last few games for the Vaqueros. Eight plays later, slot receiver ISAIAH CAPOOCIA raced in for an 11-yard score, putting El Capitan up 14-0. Capoocia would score yet again in the 4th quarter on a 27-yard strike from Cagle to put this one out of reach with 3:10 left to play. The El Capitan defense led by standout linebacker D.J. SMITH and the rest of the stingy Vaquero defense may have set an El Capitan record for the most shutouts, as this was their 4th. "We are not looking past El Cajon Valley next week, as they can step up to play also,” said Vaqueros coach RON BURNER. "Our squad has to shut down their quarterback, and put them away early. Our ultimate goal is to win next week, so hopefully we can secure a 4th seed, and a first round bye." "I have to hand it to Monte Vista, they have a much improved team, and their defense played tough. They got us on some stunts early, but we kept their offense in bad field position most of the game, great job special teams," Burner added. — Dave Dickens

STEELE CANYON 28, VALHALLA 7 – The Jamacha Helmet is back in the clutches of Steele Canyon ’s football team after the Cougars knocked off visiting Valhalla 28-7 Friday evening (Nov. 1).

Unable to generate any offense early in the game, the Norsemen spent much of the evening with their defense on the field. On its first offensive possession, Steele Canyon methodically moved the ball downfield, highlighted by a 22-yard pass from quarterback DOMINIC WOOD-ANDERSON to LAWRENCE DICKENS at the Valhalla 28-yard line.

A 13-yard run by junior running back RILEY JONES advanced the ball to the Norsemen 14-yard line, but defensive backs FABIAN YAKOU and TYLER KASTEN teamed up with defensive lineman ANDREW TODD to stuff the runner for a loss on second down.

Kasten swatted a pass away from the receiver on the next play, forcing a 30-yard field goal attempt — which went awry when senior linebacker GIUSEPPE CASTANOS (22 tackles, sack), sophomore linebacker LOGAN BAKER (20 tackles) and Kasten (10 tackles) smothered the kicker, keeping the game scoreless.

It didn’t take long for the Cougars to regain control, however, as senior defensive back ALEX WILEY picked off an errant Valhalla pass on the next play, returning it 43 yards to the Norsemen 3-yard line. Senior running back MARKELL LINDLEY scored quickly on a 3-yard plunge; KENNETH BAGDASAR’s kick was good and the Cougars led 7-0 with 4:06 left to play in the first quarter.

Steele Canyon added to its lead late in the first period when Lindley burst through a hole at left tackle and raced 35 yards to paydirt, making it 14-0 with only 42 seconds remaining in that quarter.

Lindley rushed for 212 yards on 30 carries, including three touchdowns, as the Cougars picked up their first Grossmont Hills League win of the season

Midway through the second stanza the Cougars had reason to celebrate when JORDAN JOHNSON snagged a deep pass from Wood-Anderson and sped to the end zone untouched for a 67-yard score. With 5:58 left before intermission, Steele Canyon had a 21-0 shutout going.

Wood-Anderson was 7-for-10 for 143 yards for Steele Canyon, as Dickens had three of the receptions for 44 yards. Johnson had 131 yards of total offense.

SEAN MCCARTHY led the staunch effort on defense for Steele Canyon with a fumble and recovery, and 12 stops, including five solo, while senior ALEX WILEY had an interception for the Cougars.

But this night would belong to Lindley and his big mates up front, including junior MARVIN CALDWELL and senior LOGAN STATLEY.

Valhalla tried to make a game of it early in the third quarter when Yakou ripped off some strong runs and junior quarterback PHILLIP NASSEH threw a dart deep down the middle to senior wide receiver DANIEL RODRIGUEZ, who made a nice snag to pick up 25 yards to the Cougars’ 34-yard line. Nasseh then hit wide receiver JOHN TODD for an 11-yard gain, but the drive stalled.

Junior quarterback VINCENT MANUPELLA rallied the Norsemen late in the game, leading them on an 80-yard drive which included a 33-yard hookup with wide receiver JOSEPH THOMAS, and hitting Todd in the end zone with a 3-yard TD pass. EAN HENDRICKSON added the PAT, and the lead was cut to 21-7, with 2:05 remaining in the contest. Steele Canyon added a late TD of its own on a 1-yard run by Lindley.

Although Valhalla dropped to 1-7 in this rebuilding year, Baker and Castanos continue to shine on defense. Baker leads all East County players with a whopping 128 tackles in only 9 games, with Castanos not far behind with 106.

CHRISTIAN 52, UNIVERSITY CITY 3 – The Patriots (8-1, 3-0) had celebrating on their mind on Friday (Nov. 1). Not only was it Homecoming and Alumni Night, the Patriots could also seal the Central League title and stake claim to a high seed in Division III with a victory.

Christian scored early, often and from everywhere.

Drive No. 1 lasted 3 plays when quarterback MICHAEL CARRILLO (102 yards) found KAI ARVAN from 38 yards out to start the scoring 7-0. University City (2-6, 1-1) turned the ball over on their first play from scrimmage as TREVOR HOWELL intercepted a pass.

Six plays later PARIS MILLER scampered home from 21 yards out to make it 14-0 only 3 minutes into the game.

TRENTON SAULS got into the action next on a 7-yard TD burst to push it to 21-0.

The Patriots’ only punt came next, but the next four possessions of the first half would all end like the first two. Miller added a second TD from 3 yards out and finished with 180 yards on the ground in just the first half. OWEN ADAIR also had a 2-yard plunge.

Miller's 3rd touchdown of the night came on a halfback pass as he delivered a perfect strike to Howell for 46 yards. Sauls wasn't done as he added his 2nd TD with a 5-yard run.

With Christian up 49-3 at the half, the second half was played on a running clock.

Carrillo was also voted homecoming king, joined by queen ALLIE BEEZER, the daughter of the school's director of athletics.

FOOTHILLS CHRISTIAN 9, JULIAN 6 – The Eagles captured the first game in this series back in 2006, but since then, no matter which team is superior, the Knights find a way to knock down the Eagles.

In Friday (Nov. 1) afternoon's game in the Cuyamaca Mountains, ALEX CLAYTON snapped a tied ballgame by booting a 28-yard field goal with two minutes left in the fourth quarter, allowing Foothills Christian (2-6 overall, 1-3 CL) to gain its initial Citrus League victory. It also snapped a 5-game losing skid, the final three by shutout.

"The wind was really howling up there," said Knights coach THOM LUCIC. "So you could only move the ball for the two quarters when you had the wind. Fortunately for us, we had two long drives when they had the wind advantage, so even though we didn't score, it didn't allow them to score either."

The teams traded touchdowns in the first quarter.

The Knights scored first from shotgun formation when quarterback WYATT BASSON found freshman DANIEL HOFFMAN open on a 35-yard pass connection. Hoffman jumped and caught the ball in stride, outracing a defender before cutting back to the inside to avoid four potential tacklers, as he fell into the end zone for the score.

They missed the conversion, but so did Julian (4-5, 1-3 CL) when the Eagles returned the ensuing kickoff down to the 1. Hunter McConnell scored on a 1-yard gain on the next play to tie the game.

Basson’s protection was solid, as ANTHONY MALCUIT and MATT LYYJOKI gave their signal caller the time to get the pass off.

Foothills Christian's defense led by senior DANNY ZASTOUPIL had an afternoon to remember.

The defenses dug in before the Knights broke through last in the contest, registering their fifth straight triumph over the Eagles. Included in the streak was a win in Julian's first -ever home night game.

Julian's lone scoring drive covered just a single yard after senior Steven Canales returned Foothills' ensuing kickoff 89 yards before being stopped about two feet shy of the goal line.

FEARLESS FORECASTER – Predictions

Grossmont takes its annual Musket shot at Helix

By Bill Dickens
© East County Sports.com
EL CAJON (10-31-13) — When it comes to East County’s oldest football rivalry, the one between Grossmont and Helix high schools is much like Bobby Thomson’s infamous home run that gave the New York Giants the 1951 pennant over the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Unfortunately for the Foothillers, East County’s longest running rivalry has been a one-shot affair. And all the bullseyes of late have belonged to Helix.

Outside of Grossmont’s 28-14 victory in 1991, and ties in 1986 and 1989, Helix has held the flintlock hostage 26 of the last 29 meetings.

The defensive minded Highlanders look to running back ADRIAN PETTY (73-452, 5 TDs), quarterback MICHAEL AUSTIN (76-137, 599 passing yards, 10 TDs) and multi-purpose performer JALEN DAVIS (33-388, 9 TDs).

Not to be overlooked is Grossmont’s record-breaking quarterback ANTHONY LAWRENCE (138-202, 2080 passing yards, 31 TDs), and East County ’s leading pass receiver CHRISTIAN BROOKS (59-801, 9 TDs) and J.T. BARNES (33-481, 8 TDs).

Tradition and performance adds up to … Helix 35-28.

VALHALLA at STEELE CANYON, 7 – There are several rivalries in the Grossmont Conference and Valhalla vs. Steele Canyon is one of them.

This rivalry is very local as not many schools even know about it. But keep this in mind – it’s one of the most competitive as Steele Canyon leads Valhalla only 4-3 in seven meetings for the coveted Jamacha Helmet.

Thus, no matter what the team records are, this is one of those rivalry games where bragging rights are more important than records.

Steele Canyon won last season 35-21 ro avenge a 2011 setback, but the Cougars will be hard-pressed to do it again.

The Norsemen count on their offense, which has included musical chairs at quarterback and blue star receiver JOHN TODD (45-768, 7 TDs). LOGAN BAKER is perhaps the best defender in the East County with 98 tackles and 7 sacks to his credit. He also has 3 fumble recoveries.

Steele Canyon will turn to speedy slot LAWRENCE DICKENS (27-526, 4 TDs) and running back-defensive back MARKELL LINDLEY to carry the offense.

This is one of the closest picks of the night, but the nod goes to... Steele Canyon 21-20.

GRANITE HILLS at WEST HILLS, 7 – Host West Hills is scrambling for a prime spot in the San Diego CIF Division II playoffs. The Pack has won 6 of 8 games so they certainly have the credentials to achieve their goal.

The problem is they don’t have any primary leaders, which could cost them against Granite Hills in Friday night’s (Nov. 1) Grossmont Hills League contest.

The Pack certainly has plenty of firepower led by quarterback STEPHEN SCHINDLER (66-122, 698 yds and 10 TDs). West Hills has to live by the pass, which includes PEANUT HERRADA, DANIEL McMANUS and D.J. LEWIS as Schindler’s top targets.

NOAH YLAGAN (102, 382, 3 TDs) spearheads the Pack’s ground game.

West Hills will have to depend on its defense to put the brakes on Granite Hills’ offense, which includes running back JESSE BISBAL (103, 755 yds, 9 TDs) and the passing of quarterback CHRIS MEREDITH (73-130, 1077 yds, 8 TDs) and receiver JOSH LONGBRAKE.

West Hills has won 10 of the last 12 meetings but will be hard-pressed to keep this streak intact... West Hills 27-24.

CHRISTIAN vs. UNIVERSITY CITY at Granite Hills, 7 – In one of the few games that has any meaning on East County’s plate Friday night (Nov. 1) pits the Patriots of Christian (7-1, 2-0 CL) against University City (1-0, 2-5 CL) in a Central League matchup.

This one has championship overtones as the winner takes home the gold.

Although University City leads the all-time series 3-1, including a 32-31 overtime victory over the Patriots last year, this doesn’t figure to be a cliff-hanger. The Patriots simply have too many weapons.

Case in point is Christian crushed Coronado 49-3 and University City beat the Islanders 28-18.

Christian’s passing game rivals the best in the county with MICHAEL CARRILLO at the helm. The senior quarterback has completed 174 for 268 for 1669 yards and 20 touchdowns.

Speedster PARIS MILLER, who averages better than 108 yards per game, carries the ground game.

But don’t overlook the Christian defense because it’s probably the “X” factor in the Patriots’ surge to the title. There are some pretty ornery characters in that unit in TRENT SAULS and SEBASTIAN SWIFT.

Looking for an upset? Don’t look here... Christian 28-6.

EL CAPITAN at MONTE VISTA, 7 – El Capitan won’t come away with the Grossmont Valley League championship, but the Vaqueros surely will become a playoff factor in the San Diego CIF Division II tournament.

Quarterback BRAD CAGLE (104-153, 1907 yards, 20 TDs) will lead the Vaqueros against the Monte Vista Monarchs who will have a tough time going toe-to-toe with El Capitan.

El Capitan leads the series 25-15-1.

Monte Vista will depend on its defense led by defensive back D.J. DOSIER and 6-foot-2, 245-pound tight end XAVIER WADE, 5-10, 240-pound defensive lineman GUILLERMO BUSTOS. Versatile running back-defensive end JEMEIL JACKSON is a double threat as is LEE WADE.

SCOTT ROOT will carry the mail for the Vaqueros along with ISAIAH CAPOOCIA and CHRIS PEARSON.

The Vaqueros had not lost to the Monarchs since 2000, but fell last year 38-28. It won’t be that close this time... El Capitan 27-12.

MOUNT MIGUEL at SANTANA, 7 – This Grossmont Valley League game could be ugly as four-time champion Mount Miguel takes on Santana.

When it comes to individual standouts, the Matadors are well stocked. The same cannot be said for Santana, and that adds up to a lop-sided contest.

A week ago El Capitan smothered the Sultans 42-0, and keep in mind that Mount Miguel whacked El Capitan 42-21 prior to that.

So do the math... Mount Miguel 38-0.

FOOTHILLS CHRISTIAN at JULIAN, 3 – To say it’s been a long season for the Knights of Foothills Christian would be and understatement.

Fact is, Foothills Christian has scored only six points in the last four games and lost five in a row. To make matters worse the Knights have been shutout for the last three games.

So this Citrus League league game belongs to... Julian 38-0.
