Escondido Gets a Boost from Gonzales in 22-19 Defeat
Escondido had to settle for second on Friday, but Josh Gonzales sure wasn't going down easily. Gonzales turned in nothing short of a gem, picking up 173 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He has become a key player for Escondido: the team is 3-1 when he posts at least 100 receiving yards, but 1-2 otherwise.
Escondido's defeat ended a three-game streak of away wins and brought them to 4-3. Gonzales and Escondido will look to defend their home field on Friday against Westview at 7:00 p.m.

Vinup Posts Huge Game in 49-0 Victory
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Joseph Vinup stepped things up a notch to give Oceanside the 'W'. Vinup turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 141 yards and five touchdowns on only 12 passes.

Landen Lockwood was a major factor in San Pasqual's win over Westview on Friday. Lockwood was dynamite, making 18 total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending two passes.
