Peter Thomas Dazzles in Mar Vista Win
Mar Vista's six-game losing streak is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Peter Thomas. San Ysidro had no answer to Thomas on Friday as he rushed for 74 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 130 yards and a touchdown while completing 71.4% of his passes. The dominant performance gave Thomas a new career-high in rushing yards.
On the year, Thomas has thrown 10 touchdowns (and and only 2 picks) while averaging 117.4 passing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he had one passing touchdown.

Dario Garcia Turns in Season-Best Performance
San Ysidro came up short on Friday despite Dario Garcia delivering his best game to date. Garcia rushed for 130 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 80 yards.
Mar Vista had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Garcia it was a similar story. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Garcia saw the Mariners), he rushed for 214 yards and a touchdown while picking up 11.9 yards per carry.
