Gonzalez sparked Bishop Diego to a 21-14 CIF football playoff victory over Antelope Valley in the Cardinals’ debut in the Northern Division (Division). Gonzalez ran for two touchdowns and was a force on defense. He had seven tackles include a fourth-and-goal stop against Antelope Valley’s top running back.
Bishop Diego plays at Atascadero in a quarterfinal game on Friday.
