Rancho Bernardo extended their winning streak to four on Friday, bumping them up to 4-0. They walked away with a 44-35 victory over the West Covina Bulldogs. The Broncos' offense stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most points they've scored all season.
A big part of Rancho Bernardo's win came down to the chemistry between Gaige Weddle and his top target Trey Durham. Weddle rushed for 75 yards and one touchdown on only ten carries while Durham picked up 113 receiving yards and a pair of scores. Weddle also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack, forcing two fumbles, and making 16 total tackles. Brady Savage made the highlight reel by snagging an interception and taking it all the way to the house.
Rancho Bernardo didn't let much get past them through the air: they limited West Covina to a completion percentage of just 45.5%. That dominant aerial defense primarily came from two players: Gavin Valencia and Brandon Kendro, who each logged one passes deflected. That defensive display was nothing new: Rancho Bernardo has limited their opponent to a lower and lower completion percentage in three consecutive matches.
Rancho Bernardo's defensive line didn't let Isaac Villescas., get away unscathed either: they got into the backfield for six sacks. The team can thank three different players for their defensive prowess: Weddle, Samuel Martin, and Miles Koustmer, who each picked up one sack apiece. Valencia was another major factor on D, picking up 1.5 sacks, making 15 total tackles (2.0 for loss), and defending one pass.
As for West Covina, their defeat dropped their record down to 2-2. While losing is never fun, they can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' California football rankings (they are ranked 353rd, while Rancho Bernardo is ranked 131st).
Despite the loss, West Covina still got an impressive performance from Villescas, who rushed for 117 yards and one TD on only 15 carries, and also threw for 159 yards and one touchdown.
Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Rancho Bernardo will host San Diego at 7:15 p.m. on Friday. The Cavers' defense has only allowed three points per game this season, so the Broncos' offense will have their work cut out for them. As for West Covina, they will look to defend their home field on Thursday against South Pasadena at 7:00 p.m. The Bulldogs will be up against the Tigers' rather soft defense (which has allowed 37.8 points per contest), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance.
