Big Game from Gonzales As Escondido Fell 22-19
While Josh Gonzales delivered a dominant performance on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Escondido. 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 face off against Westview at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Joseph Vinup's Big Game Leads Oceanside over Rancho Buena Vista
Oceanside found a leader in Joseph Vinup as the squad took down Rancho Buena Vista on Friday. Vinup turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 141 yards and five touchdowns on only 12 passes.
For the season, Vinup has thrown 15 touchdowns while averaging 117.6 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 16.88 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 43.13 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 32.80
San Pasqual took down Westview on Friday, a win that might not have happened without Landen Lockwood's effort. Nobody could stop Lockwood as he made 18 total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defended two passes.
For the season, Lockwood has averaged 12.4 total tackles per game.

Robert Renteria Makes It Two for San Pasqual
Keeping Lockwood company is Robert Renteria, a fellow San Pasqual player. He threw for 217 yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 44 yards and a touchdown.
Renteria will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Rancho Buena Vista on Friday. The contest will pit Renteria up against the Longhorns' star QB Noah Salazar. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
