Wyatt Shaw was another key signal caller, throwing for 222 yards and four TDs while completing 80% of his passes.

On the other side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Redding Christian's defense and their 4.5 sacks. Modoc's QB won't forget Brodie Ogden anytime soon given he sacked him twice.
