Stowers threw for 361 yards and six touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 3.1 passing touchdowns per game.
Mount Miguel's victory was their fifth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 7-2. Stowers and Mount Miguel will head out to square off against Scripps Ranch at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Turner Made His Presence Known in Granite Hills' 35-21 Win
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Thursday Max Turner stepped things up a notch to give Granite Hills the 'W'. Helix had no answer to Turner as he rushed for 200 yards and two touchdowns, and also caught a touchdown.
Turner is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Grossmont on Thursday. Turner rushed for 91 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries, and also picked up 40 receiving yards the last time he and the Foothillers duked it out back in October of 2023.
