It was a tough weekend for local gridiron teams as The Bishop’s School, La Jolla Country Day and La Jolla High all met defeat. Horizon posted 42 points on Bishop’s last weekend en route to a 42-18 victory over the Knights. Running back Jacob Kelly got injured in the first quarter as the Knights fell behind 21-0 and never recovered. The Knights also were missing running back Kyle Jester and lineman Jesse Ramey. Freshman QB Joey Moreno was 13-of-16 for 177 yards and one TD. Micah Seau had 11 tackles and a sack, while Mike Jensen led the ground attack with 87 yards on 11 carries. Jensen also played well on defense, notching 10 tackles. “I think we can be pretty tough for the playoffs once we get everyone healthy,” Bishop’s head coach Mike David said. Elsewhere, La Jolla Country Day (LJCD) School dropped a 27-21 decision last Saturday afternoon at Army-Navy. LJCD (5-3, 1-1) rallied from a 27-14 deficit as Montell Allen (24 carries, 158 yards) scored on a four-yard run to cut it to 27-21. LJCD got the ball back on an onsides kick, but a fourth down pass deep in Army-Navy territory fell incomplete minutes later to end the comeback. LJCD quarterback Derek Hatfield added a six-yard TD run for the Torreys, while Allen led the way on defense with 11 tackles (eight solo stops). In junior varsity action, LJCD posted a 24-12 victory over Army-Navy. In Western League play, Mission Bay escaped with a 17-12 win over visiting La Jolla High last Friday afternoon. La Jolla opened a 3-0 lead on a 39-yard field goal from Lee Abelkop, which was helped by a pair of Henry Nawahini passes to lead the Vikings into Mission Bay territory. Abelkop would later add a 33-yard field goal to make it 6-0. After Mission Bay took a 17-6 lead, La Jolla rallied as Nawahini (11-of-22, 114 yards, one TD) found receiver Zac Zlatic for a 10-yard TD strike. The Vikings got some big runs from backs Robbie Beathard and Matt Petch on the drive. Running back Victor Rangel finished the day with 79 yards on 11 carries for the Vikings. On defense, Harper Allen recorded five tackles and one sack, while Thomas Bowman had four tackles and Kitt Livingston added four tackles and an interception. “This was a tough loss for us,” La Jolla High head coach Dave Ponsford commented. “To play in the Western League, we need to make less mistakes than our opponents, and we did not. We had more first downs and yardage than Mission Bay, but we also had more turnovers.” La Jolla is back in action Friday afternoon when it visits University City High at 2:30 p.m. Finally, University City High dropped its seventh straight game last Friday afternoon with a 37-3 loss to Hoover High.
