It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Bonita had no problem doing just that on Friday. They enjoyed a cozy 35-20 win over the Cathedral Phantoms. The victory was just business as usual for the Bearcats, who after 11 games remain undefeated this season.
Despite the defeat, Cathedral saw an underclassman step up: sophomore Jaden Jefferson threw for 241 yards and a touchdown while picking up 12.1 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 63 yards and a touchdown. A healthy portion of Jefferson's aerial production (82 yards to be exact) went to Quentin Hale, who also brought in a receiving touchdown.
Bonita's win was their sixth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 11-0. Those good results were due in large part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 11.3 points per game. As for Cathedral, with the loss, they broke their five-game winning streak and moved their record to 9-2.
Bonita's road trip will continue as they head out to face Edison at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Bonita knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 31 points or more in their past four games -- so hopefully Edison likes a good challenge. Cathedral does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
