The matchup between Foothill and West on Friday hardly resembled the 20-7 effort from their previous meeting. The Trojans and the Vikings were almost perfectly matched up, but the Trojans suffered a 33-32 defeat. Despite 59 more yards than the Vikings, the Trojans couldn't convert that extra yardage to scores.
Foothill's loss shouldn't obscure the performances of Martin Velasquez, who rushed for 115 yards and two scores, and Andrew Trevino, who rushed for 141 yards and one touchdown.
Even if they lost, Foothill's defensive line still kept up the pressure with three sacks. In fact, those sacks all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Anthony Perez.
Solomon Harris had another great game (as he tends to do), rushing for 155 yards and three TDs on only 15 carries, while also throwing for 125 yards and one touchdown for West. Harris' passing game has become a key predictor of the Vikings' success: the team is undefeated when his passer rating is 100 or higher, but only 1-2 otherwise. West's leading receiver Jamarr Price was Harris' top target yet again, picking up 75 receiving yards and one score.
Foothill's defeat dropped their record down to 4-3. As for West, the win (which was their third in a row) raised their record to 5-2.
Looking ahead, Foothill is taking a road trip to challenge Del Oro at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The Trojans are facing the Suns at the right time seeing as the Suns are stuck on a four-game losing streak. As for West, they will welcome Tehachapi at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. That contest will pit two of the most dominant signal callers against one another: Harris and Colton Michael.
