Montgomery's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Qassim Williams led the charge by rushing for 118 yards and two TDs while picking up 7.4 yards per carry. Williams is becoming a predictor of the Aztecs' success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 4-1 (and 2-3 when he doesn't). The team also got some help courtesy of Isaiah Mena-Malijan, who rushed for 65 yards and one score.

They were just one part of a punishing run game: Montgomery was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 218 rushing yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Bonita Vista only rushed for 17.

On the other side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Montgomery's defense and their six sacks. The team can thank two different players for their defensive prowess: Viliamu Trollinger and Isaac Espinosa, who each picked up two sacks apiece. Trollinger was another major factor on D, picking up two sacks and making 13 total tackles (6.0 for loss).

Despite a strong season so far, Bishop's has seen their luck take a bit of a downturn recently. They took a 28-9 bruising from Santa Fe Christian on Friday. The game marked the Knights' lowest-scoring matchup so far this season.

Montgomery pushed their record up to 6-4 with the win, which was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season. Those home victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 6.3 points on average over those games. As for Bishop's, their defeat dropped their record down to 7-3.
