There's no place like home for Pacifica, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Friday. They blew past the Camarillo Scorpions 45-24 on Friday. Given the Tritons' advantage in MaxPreps' California football rankings (they are ranked 97th, while the Scorpions are ranked 251st), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
A big part of Pacifica's victory came down to the chemistry between Taylor Lee and his top target Isaiah Dillon. Lee threw for 442 yards and six touchdowns while picking up 14.7 yards per attempt while Dillon picked up 229 receiving yards and four touchdowns. Dillon's longest reception was for an incredible 85 yards. Another player making a difference was Savion Taylor, who picked up 126 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Pacifica was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 226 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've posted since back in October of 2023.
One reason for the win was Pacifica's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for three sacks. Leading the way was Dejuan Colvin with two. He is becoming a predictor of Pacifica's success: when he posts at least two sacks the team is 2-1 (and 2-3 when he doesn't). Another thorn in Camarillo's side was Budder Aina, who picked up a sack and made 18 total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Despite the defeat, Camarillo had strong showings from Brendan Widerburg, who threw for 278 yards and three touchdowns, and Shane Feller, who gained 177 total yards and a touchdown.
With the win, Pacifica broke their three-game losing streak and moved their record to 4-4. As for Camarillo, they have traveled a rocky road recently having lost four of their last five matches, which put a noticeable dent in their 2-6 record this season.
Pacifica will venture away from home to take on Simi Valley at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Simi Valley will roll in looking for their ninth straight victory, something Pacifica surely won't give up without a fight. As for Camarillo, they will host Oaks Christian at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
