It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Balboa had no problem doing just that on Saturday. They blew past the Mission Bears 45-0. Considering the Buccaneers have won nine matchups by more than 35 points this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.

Rylen Thien-Jones looked great while leading his team to the win, throwing for 119 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Jamarrick Tanner got in on the action as well, converting a pick into a touchdown.

Balboa didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off three passes before the game was over. It was truly a group effort as Bobby Ray Wysinger, Tanner, and Syrus Siga picked up one apiece. Another thorn in Mission's side was Naioa Tinoifili Shul Cassidy, who made 11 total tackles (5.0 for loss).

Balboa pushed their record up to 9-2 with the victory, which was their 12th straight at home dating back to last season. Those home wins came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 6.1 points on average over those games. As for Mission, they are on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-6.

Balboa will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Washington at 11:00 a.m. on the 27th. The Buccaneers will be up against the Eagles' rather soft defense (which has allowed 28.91 points per contest), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance. Mission does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
