Practicing on a full stomach

Monarchs earn berth to D4 semifinals,
earning a practice date on Thanksgiving

SPRING VALLEY (11-23-13) — After 199 wins as a high school football coach, RON HAMAMOTO is well versed in the hopeful tradition of scheduling practice on Thanksgiving Day.

In these parts, it means you’re in the semifinals … with a chance to win a championship.

Monte Vista will practice on the fourth Thursday of November for the first time in nine years after whupping University City, 41-2, on Friday night (Nov. 22) in the San Diego CIF Division IV quarterfinals.

“I told the guys, any time you practice on Thanksgiving, it’s been a good season,” said the Monarchs’ second-year coach who has been there before with elite teams at USDHS, Rancho Bernardo and Lincoln. “We’re in the semis. We’ll see what we can do.”

Top-seeded Monte Vista (6-5) had little trouble getting to turkey day, rolling up 402 rushing yards and limiting the Centurions (4-7) to just 109 total yards while recovering five fumbles.

“I’m just so thrilled,” said senior running back JEMEIL JACKSON. “I don’t have words for this.

“I’ve been striving for this since my sophomore year. There were times over the past two years that we’d get blown away by 50 points. This is a dream in the making. I just hope we keep it going.”

Jackson was a huge reason why Monte Vista will host No. 4-seed La Jolla (5-6) in the semifinals next Friday (Nov. 29) at 7 p.m. for a shot at the title game on Saturday (Dec. 7) at 3:30 p.m. at Mesa College.

The reigning Offensive Player of the Year in the Grossmont Valley League, Jackson rushed for 205 yards and two touchdowns on 28 carries with 181 yards and both scores coming in the first half of the lopsided contest.

Quarterback THOMAS WALKER was another reason. He added 94 rushing yards on just five carries, which involved touchdown runs of 79 and 9 yards. He also completed 2-of-2 passing attempts for 27 yards, both resulting in first downs.

“It feels good (to be in the semifinals),” he said. “We haven’t been there in a while. The whole school hasn’t been there in a while.

“We started 0-3 and everybody gave up on us. Then we started winning. You can feel the change around campus.”

Before Hamamoto arrived and the Monarchs finished 6-5 last year, Monte Vista hadn’t had a winning record or a playoff win since going 11-1 in 2004. The Monarchs lost to Serra, 42-13, in the first round last year.

Under a steady rainfall in the first half, Monte Vista took control of things early against University City, which celebrated its first playoff win in the school’s 32-year history last week.

On its opening possession, Jackson capped an 8-play, 80-yard drive with a 27-yard touchdown run that already gave him 65 rushing yards. He also tallied a 2-point conversion for an 8-0 lead.

The Centurions got two of their three first-half first downs on their first drive, but that ended with a miserable attempt at a 53-yard field goal.

Three plays later, Walker kept the ball on a read-option fake to Jackson and raced unscathed 79 yards for a 16-0 lead, again Jackson rushing for the 2-pointer.

“The blocking was perfect,” Walker said. “I just read the hole and took it.”

On a tender right ankle, Jackson struck again early in the second quarter with a highlight-reel run for a 51-yard TD in which he broke a half-dozen tackles to make it 22-0.

Late in the half, Jackson fumbled at the 18-yard line, but the Monarchs’ DANYELLE MILLER recovered a fumble on the very next play to put Monte Vista in great position once again.

“I kind of tried to do too much on that one,” Jackson said. “I tried to be too versatile. There’s no need to do that.”

University City managed a goal-line stance late in the half to limit the damage – otherwise, the officials were prepping for a running clock sometime soon in the second half.

“That was our plan,” Jackson said. “We wanted to come out hard, especially after a bye week. It’s the playoffs. Anything can happen. We wanted to make sure we took care of things right away.”

That they did as the Monarchs had 285 rushing yards and 296 total yards in the first half, while Uni City managed only 46 total yards.

Walker got his second touchdown run on a 9-yard keeper at 7:23 in the third quarter.

Next drive, JAQUI MORRIS bolted 17 yards into the end zone for a 35-0 lead.

A running clock again looked promising, but, calling off the dogs, as it were, Hamamoto probably cost the Monarchs that and a shot at the shutout.

After JONATHAN ARCHIBOLD saved a TD by forcing and recovering a fumble at the 1-yard line, Hamamoto pulled Jackson and Walker, and put JOSH MIHKA in at quarterback.

Oopsie... Mihka was tackled in the end zone on his first play.

Morris, who finished with 79 yards on seven carries, scored his second touchdown on a nifty 19-yard run with 7:19 to play, but then he was tackled unnecessarily after the fact and a pileup ensued in the end zone as several players lost their cool. Uni City was cited for two unsportsmanlike penalties.

Fortunately for the Monarchs, especially with a 41-2 lead, nobody went too far and no ejections were warranted. But the officials did call for a running clock at that point and only four more plays were called.

In addition to Miller and Archibold, JESSE RIVAS, ISAIAH FARR and McKINDLEY WILLIAMS also recovered fumbles for the Monarchs.

With 181 yards at halftime, Jackson easily could have gotten 300, but he’s also a key cog on defense.

“We pulled him at the end,” Hamamoto said. “We wanted to make sure he’s ready for us next week.”

And next week? The turkey and gravy, mashed potatoes and stuffing, corn and pumpkin pie will all have to wait until after practice.

   
 

Division 3
It's been a long time for Eagles
Granite Hills shocks top-seeded Parker

© East County Sports.com
LINDA VISTA (11-23-13) — For the first time since the mid 1980s, the Granite Hills Eagles will be advancing to the CIF San Diego Section Division III semifinals after defeating the top seeded Francis Parker Lancers 28-16.

Granite Hills (7-5), led by MICHAEL LEDESMA’s 85 yards, rolled up 218 yards as the Eagles equaled their total for victories in a season with seven in 1997. They won eight in 1985.

Granite Hills coach KELLAN COBBS was elated after the upset of the Lancers 10-1.

“The running game was going and picking up first downs,” he said.

By picking up the first downs and keeping the Lancers off the field, the Eagles were able to control the clock — 33 minutes plus — but even with the vaunted Parker offense on the sidelines, the Lancers out-gained Granite Hills by 2 yards for the game (281-279).

With the dual-quarterback threat that the Eagles deploy, it allows for both SETH COLLINS and CHRIS MEREDITH to almost play mind games with their opposition.

“When both are in the game, it just opens our offense up to more looks that our opponents have to prepare for,” said Cobbs.

The game got underway with a bang. Granite Hills took the opening drive and went 80 yards on five plays to take a 7-0 lead. Ledesma capped it off with a 61-yard run, and when he took the fly sweep around the right end and turned the corner it was all but over.

Parker returned the favor as it took the ensuing drive 80 yards as well except on two more plays. Jesse Brookins (five carries for 44 yards and a touchdown) took the ball in from the 17-yard line. With Parker’s kicker injured the Lancers went for two with Noah Gamboa taking the rock in for the conversion.

Just before the end of the first quarter, the Eagles defense came up big with a sack and fumble recovery. Credit the recovery of the fumble to sophomore defensive back RILEY REYES at the Parker 7. The very next play, Collins gained 6 yards to set up the first of back-to-back scores from Meredith, giving Granite Hills a 14-8 edge at the end of 12 minutes.

The Eagles dominated the second quarter as Meredith scored again from inside the five, to cap the nine play 53-yard drive. Right before the half Collins said, “Hey wait up for me.” Well, no problem as he took it in from a yard out, and following a BRYCE STRICKLAND extra point kick, the Eagles had a 20-point lead at the break.

JESSE BISBAL chipped in 75 yards on 18 rushes for the Eagles, who also collected 67 rushing yards from Collins. The versatile Collins also picked off a pass.

After a scoreless third quarter, the Lancers finally got back on the board with another score. Junior quarterback Khaleel Jenkins ran in for the conversion.

With the win, Granite Hills will now play in the semifinals against San Marcos in the North County on Friday (Nov. 29) at 7 p.m.

“I think it’s been 30 years since we won two playoff games in a season (indeed it was 1986),” Cobbs said. “We are proud of this, but we’re not satisfied yet.”

RANCHO BUENA VISTA 50, MOUNT MIGUEL 10 — Plenty of debate surrounds coaching circles when the topic is whether a bye is an advantage or a disadvantage during playoffs.

Given the performance of the Mount Miguel Matadors Thursday night (Nov. 21) in the Division II San Diego CIF quarterfinals, two weeks between games certainly didn’t pay off.

After the Matadors took a 3-0 lead on a 47-yard field goal by JOSUE BEAS – thanks to a leaping save of a high snap by holder JACOB CASTILLO – to break a scoreless tie two minutes into the second quarter, things began to fall apart for the Matadors.

The first of two snaps over punter BRAD MORENO’s head seemed to take what little momentum Mount Miguel had away. The first high hike bounced at the Mount Miguel 12-yard line, and Moreno alertly kicked it through the endzone, giving the Longhorns a safety and leaving the Matadors on top 3-2.

“That bad snap changed the momentum of the whole game,” noted Matadors coach SHAUN McDADE.

After that it was all Rancho Buena Vista, as the Longhorns scored on the next four possessions, staking themselves to a 30-3 lead midway through the third quarter.

In an unusual play Mount Miguel snapped the ball over Moreno ’s head again, only this time the bounce favored the Matadors. TEKLE YOUSEF recovered the rock at the RBV 35.

Five plays later Mount Miguel scored its only touchdown on a 15-yard pass from Moreno to JOVON RICHARDSON.

The Matadors committed five turnovers, which handcuffed their offense most of the night.

Moreno, who was directing the injury-riddled Matadors, completed 13 of 24 passes for 124 yards, however, he was sacked 5 times and threw 2 interceptions.

“They’re a hot team and they had a great game plan for us,” McDade said. “They caught us at the right time.”

McDade said his team began to panic in the second half.

“We got a little desperate,” he admitted. “But we couldn’t turn things around.”

TRE BRYERS led the Matadors’ running game with 14 carries for 72 yards.

DAVAUGHN MURRAY, who was playing with a groin pull, was not at full speed but managed to pull down 5 passes for 46 yards.

Richardson and RASHAAD HARPER pulled down 4 passes apiece.

Mount Miguel finished the season 8-3.

“As a program I feel like we’re on the right track,” said McDade. “The kids are believing in themselves and are willing to work and make the team better.”

ST. AUGUSTINE 41, WEST HILLS 7 – The speedy Saints racked up a 28-0 halftime lead of Thursday night’s (Nov. 21) playoff contest, then midway through the fourth quarter, after St. Augustine extended to the final-margin advantage, the rain started to pour, dousing the Wolf Pack's San Diego CIF Division II title bid.

On St. Augustine's second drive, Saints' running back Tyler Herberger bounced off left tackle and dragged a defender near the goal line to score from 13 yards out, making it 7-0.

The Saints extended the lead on their next possession, when sophomore running back Elijah Preston ran in a touchdown from 36 yards out on a last-minute pitch option play. He got the ball just as his quarterback was about to be mugged by Pack linebacker PATRICK SULLIVAN. Preston broke back up field and into the clear down the left sideline to race in for the score.

Preston added a 30-yard touchdown run midway through the second quarter, giving the Saints a 21-0 cushion. St. Augustine 's final score of the half came with 26.4 seconds remaining.

Senior tight end NOAH ORTIZ caught a 6-yard touchdown pass with four minutes left in the third quarter to give West Hills a touchdown, closing the deficit to 35-7.

Tariq Thompson had a second-quarter rushing touchdown for St. Augustine (9-2), while Saints' quarterback Joe Joe Hudson passed for two fourth-quarter touchdowns, one of which went 18 yards to 2015 four-star defensive back recruit Frank Buncom IV, who is getting interest from Alabama and Notre Dame.

Preston finished with 215 yards, 187 of which came before halftime, as St. Augustine had 278 yards rushing. Hudson had 86 passing yards on 7 of 9 throws.

St. Augustine (9-2) will face Imperial (11-0) in the semifinals, Friday (Nov. 22).

Open Division
Scotties out-punched by Mission Hills

VISTA (11-23-13) — The Open Division of the newly formatted San Diego CIF Playoffs featured four heavyweights duking it out on Friday (Nov. 22) night with a trip to Qualcomm Stadium on the line.

No. 3 seed Oceanside fell to the mats early and often against No. 2 seed Eastlake, trailing 30-7 at the half, but with a 26 point second half uppercut landing squarely on the Titans' chin, the Pirates punched their ticket into the finals.

On the other side of the card, fourth-seed Helix traveled to San Marcos to take on the county's top-ranked Mission Hills squad and the two went toe-to-toe for twelve rounds, but in the end the Highlanders' season was “No Mas” as they finally fell to the canvas, 24-21.

“When you have two good teams squaring off it usually comes down to a little thing here and a little thing there,” said Helix coach TROY STARR. “If those go your way you win and if they don't you lose.”

At the sound of the first round bell the Highlanders looked like Mike Tyson in his prime.

On the second play from scrimmage sophomore running back NATHAN STINSON bolted down the sidelines for 51 yards. Two plays later he scored from 24 yards out. Although the extra point was blocked, Mission Hills was given a standing 10-count not knowing what had hit them just 1:45 into the bout.

The Grizzlies wobbled their way through their first two possessions, unable to find any success against the big dawgs on the Scotties defensive line that registered four sacks on the night. MIKE FAJARDO had two while JALEN WYATT and JIHAD WOODS notched the others.

With their offense stagnant the entire first quarter, Mission Hills ran their first punt reverse they had called all season and it caught Helix flat-footed as Scott Higgins fielded it at the 30-yard line, ran for about 7 yards and then handed it off to Nate Ostrum who went to the house with a heavy convoy and suddenly a 7-6 lead.

Shots to the body were then delivered by both teams as neither could gain as much as a first down the next four series, but sophomore quarterback MICHAEL AUSTIN pulled down a third-and-five pass attempt to scramble and raced 75 yards to the end zone.

After Stinson hit JALEN DAVIS on a Tim Tebow-like jump pass for a 2-point conversion the Scotties led 14-7, but the Grizzlies countered by nailing a 43-yard field goal just before intermission.

“Our plan was to really come out and run the ball in the second half,” Mission Hills head coach Chris Hauser stated. “We had some good movement early on, but we kinda got away from that as we were going through our play-calling.”

Time of possession in the third quarter...Mission Hills 11:08, Helix 0:52.

Trailing 14-10, the Grizzlies went 54 yards on 10 plays to open the second half, but freshman SCOTT YOUNG picked off a Connor Wynn pass in the end zone to end the drive.

Mission Hills returned the favor on the very next play when DeChaun Holiday intercepted an underthrown deep ball at midfield and churned that series into a grinding 14-play drive ending with a Ricky Luchan 3-yard score to give the Grizzlies a lead they wouldn't relinquish.

The Scotties remained poised and calm marching down the field looking like they were inevitably going to score and take the lead back as Mission Hills couldn't stop Stinson.

He ended the game with 25 carries, 182 yards and one score, but put the team on his back the next drive with a heroic effort.

However, with 6:30 remaining and still trailing 17-14, a fumbled snap was picked up by Esteban Stefano at the 26-yard line and he raced 52 yards the other way, completely flipping the field and setting up what would be the game-winning score.

Suddenly trailing 24-14 the Scotties had their backs to the wall with four minutes remaining.

All of a sudden the Scotties were forced to throw the ball, the only problem with that...they had only completed two passes for 2 yards all game long.

After three straight incompletions, Austin found Davis for a 20-yard conversion and the two hooked up one more time for a 25-yard scoring strike.

The defense got them the ball back one more time at midfield, but they were unable to move the chains.

“I was very impressed by this Helix team,” Hauser added. “They're obviously going through a youth movement right now, but they have loads of talent coming back.”

That's putting it pretty lightly...

Twenty-nine players return to the Helix roster with a bad taste in their mouth. One thing you never want to experience in life is going up against a big group of rabid Scotties.

Division 3
Eye on the Patriots after mashing Morse

EL CAJON (11-23-13) — Christian High junior J.D. PARKER is one of the smallest players in the San Diego Section. The 5-foot-7, 115-pound corner hasn’t let his lack of size hamper his performance.

Case in point was Friday’s (Nov. 22) Division III playoff quarterfinal at Granite Hills against the Morse Tigers.

Parker intercepted two passes, recovered a fumble and recorded five tackles, helping the Patriots (10-1) eliminate the Tigers from the playoffs.

No. (2) seed Christian will face No. (3) seed Hilltop on Friday (Nov. 29) in the semifinals at Granite Hills. Kickoff is 7 p.m.

“You know, I did everything I could to make sure this wasn’t our seniors’ last game,” Parker said. “No, I’ve never created 3 turnovers in a game before. I guess this was pretty good timing.”

Parker now leads the Patriots with 5 thefts.

“He’s totally an unsung hero,” said Christian defensive coordinator MIKE MITCHELL.

On the offensive side of the coin, Christian running back PARIS MILLER scored 4 touchdowns on runs of 3, 1, 57 and 50 as he totaled 200 yards rushing for the night.

Christian broke the game open in the third quarter with a 21-7 run.

Miller scored on Christian’s first possession of the third quarter on a 57-yard dash.

“I want to hand a shout-out to my offensive line,” Miller said. “They make the holes and I do the running.”

Christian also scored twice on passes in the second half. One was a halfback delivery from TREVOR HOWELL to KAI ARVAN of 41 yards that stretched the Patriots’ lead to 35-14.

In the fourth quarter the Patriots went to the air again and quarterback MICHAEL CARRILLO found TRENT SAULS wide open for a 36-yard scoring play.

Defensively SEBASTIAN SWIFT recorded 16 tackles including one for loss. Sauls made a dozen stops, including a half sack and 1.5 tackles for loss.

Christian advances to Friday’s (Nov. 29) semifinals against Hilltop at Granite Hills at 7 p.m. The Lancers advanced by edging Hoover 13-6 in overtime.

Royce rolls free on Vaqueros
in Wild West shootout, 49-42

By Jim Lindgren

IMPERIAL (11-22-13) — After a 100-mile bus ride and a fairly routine pregame meal at the Rio Bend RV Park in El Centro, El Capitan High’s football team watched the movie “Rocky” to inspire them for their upcoming San Diego CIF Division II quarterfinal game against Imperial.

  
Perhaps they should have watched “Rocky II” … or “III” … or “IV"… etc. … when Rocky actually wins.

As the underdog Thursday (Nov. 21) night, the No. 6-seeded Vaqueros were magnificent in defeat, much like Rocky Balboa against Apollo Creed in the 1975 Academy Award-winning movie.

And when the credits rolled, No. 3-seeded Imperial (11-0) reigned on this night, 49-42, despite trailing by two touchdowns in the second half and never taking a lead until 5:52 left to play.

Combined, there were 1,032 total yards. Imperial finished with 578 and El Capitan 454.

“It’s tough when you score 42 points and lose,” El Capitan coach RON BURNER said. “We played so well in the first half, but we had no answer for them in the second half. We just didn’t do it.”

With the come-from-behind win, Imperial advances to the semifinals to play No. 2-seed St. Augustine on Wednesday (Nov. 27). El Capitan (10-2) was trying to match its best record in school history, set by the 2006 squad that lost to St. Augustine in an epic semifinal game in Lakeside .

This one was epic as well, especially in the first half. The Vaqueros scored on their first five possessions to take a 35-21 halftime lead.

In that half, BRAD CAGLE completed his final 11 passes to put up 232 yards and a pair of touchdowns. ISAIAH CAPOOCIA rushed six times for 75 yards and two touchdowns. DANNY IBARRA had six touches for 48 yards.

The Vaqueros tallied a whopping 374 yards in the first 24 minutes, but only 80 in the second half.

“They had no answer for us in the first half,” Burner said, “but they shut us down in the third quarter.”

After that brilliant first half, the Vaqueros’ second-half possessions ended in punt, punt, sack, incompletion and touchdown – the latter being too little, too late.

Imperial scored four consecutive touchdowns after intermission to turn a 35-21 deficit into a 49-35 cushion.

“Heck of a game,” Imperial coach Kerry Legarra said. “Story of two halves.

“To be honest, I didn’t even yell or scream at the half. First thing out of my mouth was ‘Five possessions, five touchdowns. That’s not the way we play defense. Who else has that crappy taste in their mouth?

“Then I told them, I don’t care what happens in the second half, just don’t keep that taste in your mouth. Go out there and play like you know how to play. That showed a lot of character on our part.”

Imperial features the most prolific rusher in the history of the San Diego Section in Royce Freeman, the presumptive Player of the Year in the section. Another bad omen for the Vaqueros, Freeman was cut from the same mold as SDSU-grad Carl Weathers, who played Apollo Creed in the first three “Rocky” gems.

With 218 yards against El Cap, the Oregon-bound Freeman now has 2,644 rushing yards this season and 41 touchdowns. For his career, he has 7,426 rushing yards (a section record) and 111 touchdowns (another section record). He is the only player to lead the section in rushing and scoring three consecutive years.

Freeman had but 75 yards in the first half but finished strong, carrying 36 times, including three touchdowns. His final one was the crusher.

Facing fourth-and-3 from the 13-yard line with 6:02 to play, Freeman took a pitch right, broke a few tackles, spun and danced into the end zone to give the Tigers

their first lead at 42-35.

El Cap had a four-and-out on its next possession, and Imperial’s Carlos Villanueva took the next play, his first carry on his 16th birthday, 39 yards for a touchdown that doomed the visitors from Lakeside.

Oh, the Vaqueros attempted a late rally, as they are wont to do.

Four plays later, Cagle connected with CHRIS PEARSON on a 39-yard TD with 2:43 to play.

But the ensuing onside kick by TAKOTA CURO was recovered by Imperial’s DaJon Staton, and the Tigers ran out the clock with six bruising runs by Freeman.

“They’re a great offensive team,” Burner said. “We had a two touchdown lead going into halftime, and they come back with all those big plays in the second half. That was frustrating.”

Entering the game Freeman had scored 40 touchdowns to rank fourth in the state with 240 points. But Cagle had also produced 40 touchdowns, 29 passing and 11 rushing. Both finished with three scores.

El Capitan struck first as Capoocia raced 33 yards down the right sideline to make it 7-0.


Imperial answered one play later, Chris Carter faked a handoff to Freeman up the middle and bolted 70 yards untouched for the equalizer.

Capoocia scored again, this one from 2 yards, to make it 14-7 with 3:11 to play in the first quarter.

The Tigers then marched 85 yards in 12 plays with Freeman scoring from 4 yards early in the second quarter.

SCOTT ROOT got into the action, hauling in a 30-yard TD pass from Cagle to make it 21-14.

Six plays later, Carter got loose again for 47-yard score.

While Freeman handled the load, Carter tallied 200 yards on just 14 touches. Plus he was 6-of-11 passing for 95 yards.

“We didn’t do our job on the outside on the read option,” Burner said. “That guy running for 200 yards can’t happen.”

Pearson scored on a 16-yard run with 2:49 to play in the first half to make it 28-21, then Root hauled in an 8-yard TD pass from Cagle with 0:20 remaining as the Vaqueros appeared to be on their way to winning two playoff games in a season for the first time in school history.

The wheels came off in the third quarter.

Imperial owned the period, scoring twice on runs by Carter (39 yards) and Freeman (56) to tie things up 35-35.

“I don’t know if we were shell-shocked or what,” Legarra said, “but our seniors stepped up. We knew we weren’t going to quit.”

Cagle finished 19-of-30 passing for 296 yards and three TDs. Pearson caught five passes for 147 yards, and Root hauled in seven balls for 78 yards.

Though defense seemed to take a backseat in this game, brothers JOEY and JOHN LaCHAPPA had monster games for El Capitan . In addition to numerous tackles – taking on the brunt of Freeman – John had a big sack and Joey a fumble recovery that thwarted a potential Tiger touchdown near the end of the third quarter.

“I tell you what,” Legarra said, “ El Capitan is a well-coached team and an excellent football team. They have a dynamic offense capable of huge plays from anywhere on the field.”

Ditto Imperial.

“Yo, Adrian!”

Division 1
Season ends for record-setting Lawrence, Hillers
Carlsbad claims Division 2 quarterfials, 33-17

CARLSBAD (11-22-13) — It was widely regarded across the county that Thursday night’s (Nov. 21) San Diego CIF Division I matchup between fifth-seeded Grossmont and fourth-seed Carlsbad was the toughest to predict. If either team won it certainly wouldn't have been considered an upset, with the two teams very evenly matched across the board.

The high-octane offense of the Foothillers – led by San Diego's all-time career passing leader ANTHONY LAWRENCE – played a great first quarter, but once the flood gates of rain began to fall from the sky so did Grossmont's chances of winning, as they let their season and championship dreams slip out of their hands, losing 33-17.

“Once it started to rain it was brutal trying to get any kind of grip on the ball,” said Lawrence after completing 18-of-34 passes for 267 yards, with two touchdowns and a pair of interceptions. “We really struggled to get anything going after that and we just could never find any kind of offensive momentum.”

After the Hillers' (9-3) first two series it looked as if it was going to a shootout.

They took the game's opening drive and marched down the field rather easily, but had to settle for a J.T. BARNES 23-yard field goal. Their next possession they punched it into the end zone when wide receiver CHRISTIAN BROOKS hauled in a 22-yard pass from Lawrence.

Brooks was a bright spot on a dark night reeling in 9 receptions for 109 yards and one score.

Then came the pouring showers...

“Anytime you get those kind of elements it slows us down being such a pass-heavy team,” explained head coach TOM KARLO. “It rains twice a year in San Diego and it just happened to be at the time of our biggest game of the season so it's disappointing, but I wish I could've put our team in better situations at times.”

Grossmont only got the ball across midfield on two of their final 8 drives and one was on a 79-yard touchdown to running back JAKE HARR as he caught a short pass and rumbled his way down the sideline. Harr finished the game with 12 carries for 90 yards and 102 yards on three receptions.

Defensively for the Hillers, KALVIN WATERS and ANTHONY ALTON turned in a pair of standout performances. The two combined to make a stop on a key fourth down play in the first quarter when Carlsbad was trying to build momentum. Waters also had a sack and Alton had three tackles for a loss.

The Lancers (9-2) threw for 157 yards in the first half behind SDSU-bound QB Christian Chapman on 12 attempts, but after halftime they pounded the rock on the ground for 157 yards on 25 carries. Noah Crider was the main culprit, finishing the night with 174 yards on 28 carries and three touchdowns.

“At that point, they were just able to get into their game plan a little bit more than we would've liked to ourselves,” Karlo added. “The slick ball really hurt us, but I thought we had a great team, a legit shot at winning this one and making it even further. It's just really disappointing because I take stuff like that hard as a coach.”

Lawrence was thrust into a new style of play two years ago when Karlo took over and has had nothing but fond memories since.

“He's an amazing coach with a great system. He really made it easy for all of us to adapt to the new offense and pushed each and every one of us to be the best we could be. It was a honor to play for him the last two years.”


FEARLESS FORECASTER – Predictions

CARLSBAD (11-20-13) — The San Diego Section’s all-time leading passer ANTHONY LAWRENCE (3315 total offense yards, 46 TDs) will lead the No. 5 seed Grossmont Foothillers (9-2) into the Division I playoffs in Thursday’s (Nov. 21) quarterfinals at (No. 4 seed) Carlsbad (8-2).

Fearless Forecaster
Last Week: 7-0 (1.00)
Season: 76-23 (.768)
  
Lawrence is loaded with receivers including CHRISTIAN BROOKS (1126 yards, 11 TDs), J.T. BARNES (699 yards, 13 TDs). Barnes is also a bonus as a kicker (62-65 PATs, 1-3 FG).

The Lancers (8-3) rely on a strong running game led by Dylan Rutledge (792 yards, 7 TDs) and Demaris Pulido Christovale (696, 7 TDs), and a stingy defense.

These teams have not played in the past, so give the edge to... Carlsbad 31-27.

(7) WEST HILLS vs. (2) ST. AUGUSTINE at Mesa College – This game will probably be determined by how well the West Hills defense plays. And the Wolf Pack can play tackle football pretty well, led by linebacker RYDEN KERR (129 tackles).

The San Diego CIF Division II quarterfinal on Thursday (Nov. 21) could get out of control for the Wolf Pack if it unable to stop Saints (8-2) quarterback Joe Joe Hudson (1395, 13 TDs) and sophomore running back Elijah Preston (1002 yards, 2 TDs).

Just to look at the Wolf Pack (8-3) one would think that this team is overmatched, but the Pack just keeps on winning. Remember, West Hills was picked to finish last in the Grossmont Hills League but wound up 3rd in the 6-team circuit.

Quarterback STEPHEN SCHINDLER (1588 yards totals offense, 17 TDs) leads the Pack. Kicker-wide receiver DANIEL McMANUS converted 14 of 17 field goals, including 10 in a row, which is a Section record, to go along with 25-25 on PATs.

These teams have split two previous meetings but the rubber match goes to... St. Augustine 27-14.

(5) RANCHO BUENA VISTA at (4) MOUNT MIGUEL – If not for a key injury to leading running back BEN LOMIBAO, the four-time Grossmont Valley League champion Matadors (8-2) would be hands-down favorites in Thursday’s (Nov. 21) San Diego CIF Division II quarterfinals.

But don’t count the Matadors out because this is a team that knows how to manufacture points and play hard-nose defense.

BRAD MORENO is the triggerman for the Matadors and he has a host of sure-handed receivers, including JOVON RICHARDSON and RASHAD HARPER, which should give Rancho Buena Vista (8-3) something to think about.

Running back TRE BRYERS will pick up the ground pace along with DAVAUGHN MURRAY for Mount Miguel.

These teams have never met before but the nod this time is going to go to... Mount Miguel 23-22.

(6) EL CAPITAN at (3) IMPERIAL – This could be the best game of the night Thursday (Nov. 21) in the San Diego CIF Division II quarterfinals as it features El Capitan versatile junior quarterback BRAD CAGLE (2877 total offense yards, 39 TDs) against the Imperial Tigers and ironman running back and probable Player of the Year Royce Freeman (2461 yards on 201 carries for 39 TDs total offense).

Imperial (10-0) is averaging 46.1 ppg while El Capitan (10-1) averages 44.5 ppg. This should be a genuine shootout, although the Vaqueros are playing without one of their top offensive threats in fullback-linebacker D.J. SMITH (injured).

These teams have never played before, but the home field advantage should give the edge to... Imperial 37-28.
