Mission Bay learned what an effective passing game was like while Coronado High scored five touchdowns through the air and one on the ground during the Islanders\u2019 44-19 win over the Bucs Friday, Sept. 26, at Mission Bay. Coronado completed TD passes of 57, 81, 69, 10 and 48 yards plus an 8-yard quarterback keeper and a 36-yard field goal. Along with the Bucs, Coronado is a Division IV team. Mission Bay got on the scoreboard late in the first half, while they were already down by 27 points. Dillon Baxter took the hand-off and punched it in from six yards out. The extra-point kick was blocked. After 10 minutes of play in the third quarter, Mission Bay quarterback Bryan Allen connected with a leaping Baxter for a 4-yard pass to the end zone. Senior Manuel Bohena got the PAT up and through to give the Bucs 13 points. With 1:30 left in the game, the Bucs added a final score. Allen found Ray Herring streaking down the left side for an 18-yard touchdown. The extra-point kick attempt was again blocked. Coronado was so disciplined that on one down in the devastating second quarter, they ran a play where the entire bench participated in the deception. The Islander quarterback took the snap and faked a hand off to the halfback charging into the line. At that point the Coronado bench yelled, “RUN” while their quarterback bootlegged the ball to the right and lobbed a first-down pass. On Sept 19 the Bucs hosted North County Division II powerhouse Bonita Vista. During that contest, the Bucs learned the value of a great offensive line in establishing a running game. Bonita Vista scored three times while dominating the game. The Bucs\u2019 lone highlight came while Mission Bay\u2019s goal-line defense was on the field. Baxter stepped up from the safety position and intercepted a pass at the 3 yard line \u2014 then easily won the foot race 97 yards to the other goal line. The final score was 21-6 Buena Vista. The Mission Bay varsity football squad is now 2-2. This Friday is the Bucs\u2019 bye week while they rest up. On Friday, Oct. 10, Mission Bay will host Lincoln High at 3 p.m. in their final pre-season game. Oct. 17 the Bucs will start Western League play when they host Point Loma. The match-up with the Pointers will be the annual homecoming game. During halftime, Mission Bay will hold an induction ceremony for athletes voted into the school\u2019s Hall of Fame \u2014 the first ceremony in more than five years.
