Mission Bay extended their winning streak to nine on Friday, bumping them up to 9-0. They breezed past the Crawford Colts to the tune of 49-21. The result was nothing new for the Buccaneers, who have now won three contests by 28 points or more so far this season.

Trey Arnold continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, throwing for 338 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 13.0 yards per attempt, and also rushing for 30 yards. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in November of 2024. Nestor Bautista was another key player, rushing for 102 yards and a pair of TDs on only 12 carries.

Wins are hard to come by when you can't run the rock, something Mission Bay proved: they limited Crawford to a paltry 2.2 yards per carry. The team can thank Nereo Kraft for the heroic effort on defense: he. Mission Bay didn't have any issues in that department, having averaged 8.8.

Mission Bay's defense didn't let Giovanni Garcia, get away unscathed either: they got into the backfield for six sacks. In that department, Chance Strinden was the leader with two. He has been hot, having also posted five or more total tackles the last five times he's played. Mission Bay got some further help from Kraft: he picked up a sack and made 16 total tackles.

As for Crawford, they have been struggling recently as they've lost five of their last six matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 2-7 record this season. 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 728th, while Mission Bay is ranked 183rd).

Crawford's loss came despite strong showings from Collin Hunt and Garcia. Hunt picked up 217 receiving yards and three scores, while Garcia threw for 255 yards and three touchdowns. Hunt showed off some serious burst, connecting on a big catch for 52 yards.

We've got plenty of inter-league action coming up soon. Mission Bay is set to square off against their familiar foe Hoover at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. That game will pit two of the most dominant signal callers against one another: Arnold and Hezekiah Manuel. Meanwhile, Crawford will challenge rival Mira Mesa at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
