The Warriors' leading receiver Zyaire Custis was Chavez's top target yet again, picking up 130 receiving yards and three scores.
Special teams was a major factor in the game for Montbello, racking up 13 points in total. The biggest highlight from special teams (and perhaps the team as a whole) came courtesy of Jaden Houston, who ran a punt back for a touchdown.
Montbello didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. The picks came courtesy of Marcus Johnson and Tru Neal. Johnson is also on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made six or more in each of the last three games he's played.
