Diego Castillo Goes Supernova in Los Altos Win
Los Altos's three-game losing streak is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Diego Castillo. Castillo was unstoppable on Friday, rushing for 54 yards and two touchdowns, while also throwing for 244 yards and a touchdown while completing 84.2% of his passes. Los Altos is 4-2 when Castillo posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 0-3 otherwise.
On the season, Castillo has thrown 11 touchdowns while averaging 201.3 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after nine games last season, he was only averaging 21 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 48.44 rushing yards.
