A Season-Best Effort from Jhadis Luckey Leads California over Monte Vista
On Friday, California got the W thanks in part to Jhadis Luckey playing the best football he has all season.

He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 64 yards.
California pushed their record up to 7-1 with the win, which was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season. Luckey and California will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against De La Salle at 7:15 p.m. on November 1st.
