The Don Lugo Conquistadores will challenge the Brentwood School Eagles at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Don Lugo hasn't scored more than seven points for three games straight, a trend the squad is eager to reverse.
Don Lugo is headed into the contest out to prove that what happened against Chino last Friday (when they were outscored in every quarter) was just a minor bump in the road. The Conquistadores were dealt a 34-7 defeat at the hands of the Cowboys. The Conquistadores were in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 21-0.
The losing side was boosted by Savian Sumlar, who rushed for 33 yards and one TD, and also threw for 200 yards on 16 of 24 attempts.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Brentwood School). They blew past Rosamond 49-21 on Friday. Given the Eagles' advantage in MaxPreps' California football rankings (they are ranked 333rd, while the Roadrunners are ranked 927th) , the win wasn't entirely unexpected.
Brentwood School found their leader in sophomore JJ Lublin, who rushed for six yards and one touchdown, and also threw for 96 yards and one TD while completing 75% of his passes. Kruz Jackson also deserves a mention for his punt return touchdown.
Wins are hard to come by when you can't run the rock, something Brentwood School proved: they limited Rosamond to a paltry two yards per carry. The team can thank Enzo Longhi for the heroic effort on defense: he. Sadly, that's becoming something of a trend for Brentwood School; they were averaging 3.8yards per carry per game earlier this season, but in their last three matchups they've fallen to only 4.9 per game.
Brentwood School's defense didn't let Marvin Alvarado, get away unscathed either: they got into the backfield for four sacks. Reed Langan was particularly dangerous to the passing game, picking up two himself. Brentwood School received some extra help from Longhi, whose fumble return for a touchdown made for one of the most unforgettable moments.
The win made it two in a row for Brentwood School and bumps their season record up to 4-2. The victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 28 points in those games. As for Don Lugo, their loss dropped their record down to 1-4.
Don Lugo came up short against Brentwood School in their previous matchup back in October of 2024, falling 31-21. Will the Conquistadores have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other football content.
