La Jolla Country Day (LJCD) School kept rolling on the gridiron last weekend, posting a 49-8 Pacific League victory over Mt. Empire High School. The win puts LJCD’s league record at 1-0 and its overall record at 3-1. After the Torreys started slowly, they quickly regained their poise and scored touchdowns on their next seven possessions. Senior quarterback Derek Hatfield began his campaign for a third straight all-league QB selection by hitting on 8-of-12 passes for 106 yards and two touchdowns (17, 10 yards). Hatfield also rushed for 44 yards and two TDs on five carries.  Senior tailback Montell Allen pounded out 117 yards on 15 carries, while junior tailback Frankie Brown rushed for 62 yards, including a 23-yard TD scamper. Freshman back Sage Burmeister added a three-yard TD on the ground, while senior receiver Conner Gerhart led all receivers with 49 yards on two catches. Junior tight end Mical Bailey caught three passes for 37 yards and two TDs (17, 10 yards).  On defense, Bailey led the way with three sacks and seven tackles, while Allen had six tackles, Ian Han made five and Junior Togiaso added four.  In junior varsity action, LJCD stayed unbeaten (4-0), posting a 56-0 win over Mt. Empire. Elsewhere, The Bishop’s School got back on the winning track with a 52-12 triumph over Tijuana Federal Prep. “It was nice to get back on the winning side of things,” Bishop’s head coach Joel Allen remarked. “I told my kids before the game that good teams don’t lose two in a row. I was proud of how hard they came out and played.” Allen said the team’s defense played very well and limited its opponents to trying to produce yardage through the air.  Allen noted that senior captain Alex Carillo played extremely well at nose guard and really shut down the middle of the line, while Austin Fisher, who played left tackle for the first three games, was moved to full back and really took advantage of the opportunity. Fisher rushed 10 times for 100 yards and three TDs on the day. Playing his first game at quarterback, Hector Eribez threw for 85 yards and added another 80 yards rushing. In other action, La Jolla fell to Santa Fe Christian, 42-21. “They (Santa Fe Christian) were able to control the game on the ground, and although we were only down 21-14 entering the fourth quarter, they were able to break the game open down the stretch,” La Jolla High head coach Rey Hernandez noted. La Jolla’s points came on the ground as Tyler Bassler scored twice and QB Zac Zlatic scored the other touchdown. According to Hernandez, backup QB Cory Wagner did a good job driving the Vikings downfield for the team’s final score. “We’re hoping our tough non-league schedule will help us be better prepared once we start league in two weeks,” Hernandez remarked. “Three of our first four opponents have a combined record of 13-1.” La Jolla’s next contest is at home on Friday, Oct. 16, when the Vikings host Hoover High.
