With a playoff win on the line, Westview rose to the challenge on Friday. They strolled past the Hilltop Lancers with points to spare, taking the game 45-28. The victory was nothing new for the Wolverines as they're now sitting on five straight.

It was another big night for Matthew Guimond, who threw for 208 yards and five touchdowns. His passing game has become a key predictor of Westview's success: the team is undefeated when his passer rating is 100 or higher, but only 1-4 otherwise. The team also got some help courtesy of Miles Miranda, who picked up 62 receiving yards and a pair of TDs.

Westview didn't let much get past them through the air: they limited Hilltop to a completion percentage of just 50%. That dominant aerial defense primarily came from two players: Charles Jaskowiak and Dylan Walsh, who each logged one passes deflected. Westview wasn't nearly as limited: they posted one of 58.3%.

Westview's defense didn't let Alejandro Carranza, get away unscathed either: they got into the backfield for three sacks. Gavin Bibler refused to say out of the backfield, picking up 1.5 sacks all by himself. Another thorn in Hilltop's side was Bibler, who picked up 1.5 sacks and made eight total tackles.

When it comes to explaining why Hilltop lost, don't look at Leo Mendoza. Despite the final result, he rushed for 173 yards and three scores while picking up 7.5 yards per carry. Mendoza's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 128 rushing yards. Speaking of playmakers, who could forget Julian Moran, who went all the way with a kickoff return for a touchdown.

Westview's record is now 7-4. As for Hilltop, with the loss, they broke their six-game winning streak and moved their record to 8-4.

Looking ahead, Westview will square off against Eastlake at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Titans will aim to continue their three-game streak of scoring more points each matchup than the last. Hilltop does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
