Mason Gurule Turns in Season-Best Effort

The victory was the seventh in a row for Volcano Vista, bringing their record for this year to 7-1. Gurule and Volcano Vista will venture away from home to square off against Cleveland at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Hatch Came Up Big in Cleveland's 54-0 Victory
Cleveland picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Jordan Hatch. Piedra Vista had no answer to Hatch as he threw for 133 yards and two touchdowns on only ten passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
On the year, Hatch has thrown 19 touchdowns (and and only 1 picks) while averaging 160.1 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 0.63 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 10.5 rushing yards.
