The Carlsbad Lancers will be playing in front of their home fans against the La Costa Canyon Mavericks at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Carlsbad will be looking to keep their ten-game home win streak (dating back to last season) alive.
Last Friday, Carlsbad was able to grind out a solid win over Torrey Pines, taking the game 17-7.
Carlsbad's victory was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Julian Sayin, who rushed for two yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 229 yards and a touchdown. The team also got some help courtesy of Mason Walsh, who gained 144 total yards.
The team's defense also helped out by holding Torrey Pines to a paltry 190 yards. A big part of that defensive dominance came down to Carlsbad's ability to keep the quarterback under pressure: the team laid him out five times before it was all said and done. Leading the way was Jude McLellan and his two sacks.
