Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Mountain View walked away with it. They simply couldn't be stopped on Friday as they easily beat the Highland Rams 45-7. The contest was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 35-0.
Henry Nelson had another great game (as he tends to do), throwing for 198 yards and three TDs while completing 75% of his passes. Mountain View is undefeated when Nelson posts three or more passing touchdowns, but 2-3 otherwise. A healthy portion of Nelson's aerial production (117 yards to be exact) went to Denton Wilson.
Wins are hard to come by when you can't run the rock, something Mountain View proved: they limited Highland to a paltry 0.5 yards per carry. While four picked up at least two total tackles, Bill Mutua stood above the rest. He picked up two sacks and made two total tackles. Mountain View's run defense has been on the up-and-up: they allowed 5.06 yards per carry earlier this season, but they've only allowed five on average over their last three games.
Mountain View's defense didn't let the opposing QB, get away unscathed either: they got into the backfield for 4.5 sacks. In that department, Mutua was the leader with two.
The victory (which was Mountain View's fifth in a row) raised their record to 7-3. Those wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 41.4 points over those games. As for Highland, they have been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 6-4 record this season.
