There's no place like home for Concord, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Saturday. They blew past the Mt. Eden Monarchs, posting a 41-14 victory. The Bears have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the Monarchs on Friday, too.
A big part of Concord's win came down to the chemistry between Juan Gonzalez and his top target Andrew Lopez. Gonzalez rushed for 79 yards and a pair of TDs on only eight carries while Lopez picked up 141 receiving yards and two scores. What's more, Gonzalez racked up 161.5 passer rating, the most he's had since back in September of 2024. Max Dashner was in the mix as well, providing Concord with one touchdown.
Concord didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. The picks came courtesy of Lopez and Dashner. Concord received some extra help from Dashner, whose fumble return for a touchdown made for one of the most unforgettable moments.
Concord pushed their record up to 3-2 with the victory, which was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season. The home wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they've averaged 39.8 points this season. As for Mt. Eden, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 1-4.
Looking ahead, Concord will take on Encinal at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Bears will be up against the Jets' rather soft defense (which has allowed 33 points per game), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance. As for Mt. Eden, they will have a little extra prep time after the defeat as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Arroyo at 7:00 p.m. on October 10.
