A Season-Best Performance from Rico Templin Leads Terra Nova over San Mateo
Terra Nova came up short on Friday despite Rico Templin delivering his best game to date. Templin wasn't messing around, making 19 total tackles (3.0 for loss). The contest was his seventh straight with seven or more total tackles dating back to last season.
Terra Nova dropped their record down to 2-5 with the loss, which was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season. Templin's next match is against Carlmont on Thursday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.
