The La Jolla High football team found University City just to its liking last Friday, scoring a 24-0 win over the Centurions to bounce back after a tough loss to Mission Bay a week earlier. Josh Kilmer and Andrew Hollyfield led the La Jolla defense in total tackles, while Jose Aviles played a strong game on both sides of the line of scrimmage. La Jolla\u2019s defensive secondary had four break-ups and an interception in leading the way to the shutout. “This was also a positive development because we have been working hard on improving our play at these positions,” La Jolla High head coach Rey Hernandez commented. Zac Zlatic connected with Bobby Hill on a critical touchdown pass with no time left on the clock at the end of the first half to help lead the Vikings to the win. “It made a big difference in the game,” Hernandez noted. La Jolla closes the regular season at Point Loma on Friday, Nov. 13 at 2:30 p.m. A win could propel La Jolla into the Division IV playoffs, which will give the Vikings some added motivation, according to Hernandez. Elsewhere, the La Jolla Country Day (LJCD) Torreys, currently sitting atop the Pacific League standings with a record of 8-1, (6-0 league), traveled out to the desert to play the league\u2019s last place team, Vincent Memorial (0-9, 0-6) with predictable results: a 49-0 Torrey victory. Junior reserve QB Ruben Pe\u00f1a got his first varsity start replacing senior Derek Hatfield (shoulder injury) and was outstanding, connecting on 10 of 12 first-half passes for 130 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions.\u00a0 Three Torreys scored the first varsity touchdowns of their careers: junior wide receiver Anthony Torres on a 13-yard pass from Pe\u00f1a, and sophomore tight end Nick Schlossberg on a 7-yard reception, also from Pe\u00f1a. Freshman Eddie Garcia scored on a 15-yard run on LJCD\u2019s first drive of the third quarter. Senior running back Montell Allen gained 56 yards on four carries and scored TDs on runs of 39 and 13 yards.\u00a0Freshman Sage Burmeister had an all-around effort throwing a pass for 11 yards, rushing once for nine yards and catching three passes for 27 yards.\u00a0Junior Mical Bailey led all Torrey receivers with 64 yards on three catches, including a four-yard TD grab.\u00a0 Defensively, the Torreys were led by Allen, Bailey and Gerhart, who made 10, six and six tackles, respectively.\u00a0Burmeister pulled down a pair of interceptions in his first start at safety, returning one for a 27-yard TD.\u00a0Sophomore defensive tackle Chris Campbell and senior defensive end Ian Han each recorded a sack. LJCD\u2019s\u00a0win sets up a home game this Friday, Nov. 13 versus defending Pacific League champion Army Navy Academy.\u00a0 Finally, The Bishop\u2019s School dropped a 21-7 decision to Christian High last Friday. “It was a very tough loss for our kids,” Bishop\u2019s head coach Joel Allen commented.\u00a0“Christian played very physical and got a few quick scores that we were not able to match. I was proud of how we played in the second half of the game.\u00a0I know that we are going to see them again and I am looking forward to it.”<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
