Xzavior Guess' Big Game Leads El Modena over Trabuco Hills
Xzavior Guess's big game helped extend El Modena's winning streak to six on Thursday. Nobody could stop Guess as he rushed for 108 yards and a touchdown on only 12 carries, and also threw for 224 yards and a touchdown while completing 83.3% of his passes.
El Modena pushed their record up to 6-0 with the victory, which was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season. Guess will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Western on Thursday.
