Thousand Oaks won the last time they faced Ventura and things went their way on Friday too. The Lancers put the hurt on the Cougars with a sharp 38-13 win. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Lancers.
Thousand Oaks' success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Jordan Johnson led the charge by rushing for 167 yards and one TD while picking up 8.8 yards per carry, and also picking up 41 receiving yards and one score. Those 167 rushing yards gave Johnson a new career-high. Jackson Taylor was another key signal caller, throwing for 318 yards and three touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes.
Thousand Oaks didn't let much get past them through the air: they limited Ventura to a completion percentage of just 46.2%. That dominant aerial defense primarily came from four players: Johnson, Anders Wikstrom, Luke O'Neill, and Zach Kochel, who each logged one passes deflected. Given Taylor's standout performance, it's clear Ventura's secondary just wasn't on the same level.
When it comes to explaining why Ventura lost, don't look at Jack Cunningham. Despite the final result, he picked up 95 receiving yards and a pair of scores.
Thousand Oaks' victory bumped their record up to 2-0.
Looking ahead, Thousand Oaks will challenge Agoura at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. As for Ventura, they will take on Rio Mesa at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
