Bishop_Frame

The stats suggested a Grace Brethren blowout, but Bishop Diego's football team was tied with the Lancers through three quarters.Then the defending Frontier League champions, led by their MVP quarterback Max Leffler, held onto the ball for nearly 10 minutes of the fourth quarter on a 17-play, 85-yard drive before breaking the 14-14 deadlock with 2:14 to go on Kendall Rettig's second touchdown run of the night.The Cardinals blocked the PAT kick to stay within six, 20-14, and launched one … [Read more...]

Warriors make statement in TVL opener

Friday, October 15, 2010 By 1 Comment

Coming off a 6-0 nonleague campaign, Fillmore had hoped to make a statement about who would rule Tri-Valley League football when it stepped onto Carpinteria's Warrior Memorial Stadium Friday night.Instead, it was the Warriors who roared on their Homecoming Night, shutting down a vaunted Flashes offensive unit for a one-sided 46-15 victory in both team's TVL opener.Any statement by the Flashes will have to wait another week, as they left quietly and quickly when the game concluded. … [Read more...]

Alejandre ruins Bishop’s 4th-quarter comeback

Santa Ynez running back Cole Hollingsworth breaks free for the first of his two touchdown runs.

If this season opener is any indication, expect the unexpected from the Bishop Diego and Santa Ynez football teams in 2010.Both teams provided an assortment of twists and surprises in a dramatic fourth quarter Friday night at SBCC's La Playa Stadium, and when the fog rolling in from the nearby shore finally settled, the visiting Pirates were all too content to board the bus back home with a 25-16 victory.It looked like the Cardinals' game to win, after quarterback Nolan Tisdale rallied … [Read more...]

Friday, September 3, 2010 By Leave a Comment

The Cabrillo Conquistadores got their football season off and running Friday night against an outsized San Marco team at Valley Stadium, leaving the memories of a 1-9 campaign a year ago in the dust.Featuring four running backs who topped 50 yards, Cabrillo rushed for 321 yards behind a front line that cast shadows over their Royal counterparts, steamrolling the Conqs to a season-opening 28-6 victory on the road."We've got four to six guys who can really run the football," said Cabrillo … [Read more...]

The pain in Zack Boytis' shoulder is gone.A painful season continues for the Santa Barbara Dons football team.Boytis, the Dos Pueblos senior quarterback, showed no signs of the sprained right shoulder that kept him out of action several games, running for two touchdowns and throwing for another to lead the Chargers to a 27-0 victory over crosstown rival Santa Barbara Friday night at Peabody Stadium, extending the Dons' winless season to seven games."This feels amazing," exuded … [Read more...]

DP falters on Scott O’Leary Day

Friday, October 9, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Scott O'Leary Stadium is now the official name of Dos Pueblos High's football facility after a pre-game ceremony yesterday, in which the city of Goleta proclaimed "Scott O'Leary Day."But the emotions of honoring the late coach, athletic director and greatly admired mentor for so many years at the school didn't translate into any homefield advantage for the Chargers, who couldn't stem the tide of injuries that decimated their roster en route to a 21-7 loss to visiting Rio Mesa."This was … [Read more...]

Royalty reigned with the crowning of homecoming queen Katie Shara - team captain of the girls volleyball team -- Friday night at San Marcos' Valley Stadium.But it was hardly a crowning moment for the Royals football team, as the visiting Oxnard Yellowjackets -- sparked by an electrifying 99-yard return for a TD on the opening kickoff by Henry Fernandez -- spoiled the coronation with a dominating 28-0 victory.Royals head coach Jeff Hesselmeyer found "some bright spots" in a game … [Read more...]

Dons deep-sixed by Righetti

Santa Barbara quarterback RJ Rosborough hand off

Against a banged-up Santa Barbara football team that had six players out with injuries, Righetti relentlessly kept putting up six -- six times, in fact.With kicker Jared Miller tacking on six extra points and a 31-yard field goal to boot, the visiting Warriors rolled to a 45-0 victory that was as dominating as the score implies at Santa Barbara High. Members of the Dons' Reunion Class of 1964 in attendance had little to cheer about as Righetti moved pretty much at will, finishing the … [Read more...]

Neither was Alex Frost of San Luis Obispo.Frost won, and so did the SLO Tigers, 16-3, in a season-opening nonleague football clash at Dos Pueblos High Friday night.In a game of hard knocks all night long, no one took more blows on a single play than Boytis did as he relentlessly plowed through Tiger defenders for a 25-yard gain to the SLO 20. The clock was ticking toward the five-minute mark of the fourth quarter at … [Read more...]

New-look Warriors rumble past Nordhoff

Friday, October 31, 2008 By Leave a Comment

A forgettable October ended on a high note on Halloween night for an outmanned Carpinteria football team at Valley Memorial Stadium.Halloween parties and a pre-game shower scared some fans away from the Warriors' home game against Nordhoff Friday night. But that didn't dampen the spirits of the 20 players who suited up in brand-new black uniforms, despite being left for dead after four straight losses.Justin Alvarado, who got to wear two costumes as a running back and wide receiver, and … [Read more...]

Leonard’s legs boost Dons over Buena

Friday, October 24, 2008 By Leave a Comment

In a football game that produced more than its share of oddities and a chest-thumping 35-18 victory for the Santa Barbara Dons at Buena Friday night, it seemed only fitting that Dons head coach Will Gonzales would designate a running back as his team's player of the game.That would be Kyle Leonard, who to this point of the season has been overshadowed in a pass-happy offense led by record-setting quarterback John Uribe and his talented receiving corps.But Leonard was Santa Barbara's … [Read more...]

DP’s offense sputters in 14-0 shutout

Friday, October 3, 2008 By Leave a Comment

 After watching his team give up 31 points to Lompoc last week in the first football game ever played at Scott O'Leary Stadium, Dos Pueblos' head football coach Jeff Uyesaka was pleased to see the Chargers defense hold Friday's night' opponent, Righetti, to 17 points less in a return home engagement.But it's pointless to say the same could not be said for Uyesaka's impression of his offense against the Warriors, who thoroughly wrapped up DP for a 14-0 shutout in the non-league … [Read more...]
