C.H. Yoe have relied on a stalwart defense averaging 18 points allowed per game, but that average took a hit on Friday. They and East Chambers were almost perfectly matched up, but they suffered an agonizing 34-35 defeat. C.H. Yoe's loss signaled the end of their nine-game winning streak.
Despite C.H. Yoe's loss, the team got to see several of their players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. junior Nico Vargas, who rushed for 68 yards and 2 touchdowns on 21 carries, was the best among equals. Vargas has now scored at least one touchdown in the past 13 games. Additional support came from defensive powerhouse senior Ulices Cardona mendoza, who racked up ten tackles.
Sophomore Ernest Ceasar and junior Kameron Smith were among the main playmakers for East Chambers as the former rushed for 109 yards and 2 touchdowns on 18 carries and the latter picked up 84 yards on the ground on 12 carries and accumulated 115 passing yards. That makes it eight straight good games from Ceasar.
C.H. Yoe do not have any more games currently scheduled. East Chambers will take on Grandview in each of the teams' fourth playoff matchup at 2:30 PM next week. Since neither squad is a stranger to landslide victories this season, you'd better bet it will be hard-fought showdown.
