JV Coach Justin Schmidt said the team played well in the second half after a slow start. “We had strong defensive play from Johnny Aguayo and Jojo Garcia,” he said. “Christian Garcia played well on offense throwing two touchdowns and rushing for two. Oscar Cancino was our leading receiver and Jesus Castenjon also caught a touchdown. We will have another tough game this Friday vs Pacifica at Ventura College starting at 4:30.”
