SPRING VALLEY — While many flag football teams that go winless through their opening league contests begin drifting out of contention, El Cajon Valley is moving in the opposite direction.
Following an upset loss to previously winless Valhalla in Grossmont Valley League action, the Braves climbed back into the title hunt with a pair of victories during Week Eight.
First, ECVHS matched the program record for the largest margin in a shutout victory by blanking Monte Vista, 18-0, on Tuesday (Sept. 29). Two days later, preseason favorite West Hills became the Braves’ next victim in a 13-7 victory over the Wolf Pack.
Thus, the standings have become a jumbled mess.
El Cajon Valley (7-7 overall) sits in the middle of the table with a 3-3 league record.
West Hills (5-5) remains on top at 3-1, but it was a rough week for the Wolf Pack, who lost at home to both Christian in non-league play and El Cajon Valley. Santana (5-7) sits a half-game back at 2-1.
Valhalla and Monte Vista are positioned just below the Braves.
All of Monte Vista’s league games have been removed from the schedules of the other five GVL programs, so something apparently happened behind the scenes. The contests involving the Monarchs now appear to be classified as non-league games.
Monte Vista later fell to Valhalla, 27-12, leaving the Norsemen tied with El Cajon Valley in the standings.
Grossmont Hills League
Granite Hills 41, El Capitan 26
EL CAJON — El Capitan, after allowing a season-high 33 points to Steele Canyon, continued its defensive slump when Granite Hills scored 41 points in a Grossmont Hills League victory at Valley Stadium.
The 41 points established an El Capitan record for the most allowed in a game. The previous mark was set last season when Mabel O’Farrell Charter scored 40.
According to statistics reported by El Capitan, Vaqueros quarterback Kailynn Bonner completed 33 of 45 passes for 270 yards in what was listed as her first career start. Her stat line included four touchdown passes and four interceptions.
Two of the scoring passes went to Sofia Simone, who collected six receptions for 39 yards.
The Vaqueros’ receptions leader was Gabriella Jackson, who matched her season high with 10 catches, totaling 112 yards. Jackson previously registered 10 receptions against Ramona.
El Capitan (6-8 overall) attempted only one rushing play, with Bonner scrambling for a 7-yard gain.
Grossmont 7, at Steele Canyon 0
JAMUL — Grossmont moved past Steele Canyon into third place in the Grossmont Hills League standings after blanking the host Cougars, 7-0, on Tuesday (Sept. 29).
The Foothillers’ defense delivered the program’s second shutout of the season while handing the defending GHL champions their second consecutive scoreless loss.
No individual statistics or game information were reported.
Thurs., Oct. 1
El Cajon Valley 13, at West Hills 7
SANTEE — El Cajon Valley climbed back into the Grossmont Valley League title chase by upsetting first-place West Hills, 13-7, at Wolf Pack Stadium.
The victory was the Braves’ second in three days and improved their league record to 3-3. West Hills remained atop the standings at 3-1 despite suffering its second home loss of the week.
No individual statistics or additional game information were reported.
Helix 38, El Capitan 13
LA MESA — A long week for El Capitan included a loss to second-place Granite Hills, followed by an even larger setback against Grossmont Hills League front-runner Helix.
The second-ranked Scotties raced to a 26-0 advantage during the second quarter before coasting to the 38-13 victory.
Helix (11-1 overall) extended its season-best winning streak to six games. The Highlanders’ lone setback came against top-ranked Bonita Vista.
Meanwhile, El Capitan (6-9) has dropped three straight and five of its past six contests. The Vaqueros have been outscored 112-52 through three GHL games.
Granite Hills 26, Grossmont 6
EL CAJON — Granite Hills ended an all-time five-game losing streak against Grossmont by defeating the Foothillers, 26-6, Thursday (Oct. 1) at Valley Stadium.
Grossmont had scored at least 25 points in each of the previous five meetings before the Eagles finally held the Foothillers in check.
The victory improved Granite Hills to 3-1 in Grossmont Hills League play, keeping the Eagles within striking distance of first-place Helix.
Neither school reported individual statistics or additional game information.
