Despite a key injury and a quarterback suffering from the flu, La Jolla Country Day (LJCD) School came together as a team last Friday night and scored a 35-0 win over Escondido Charter High School in gridiron action. LJCD (4-1, 2-0) was missing top lineman Junior Togiaso (upper leg muscle pull) and all-league quarterback/defensive back Derek Hatfield was battling the flu. Still, senior linemen Ian Han and Blake Mohseni, junior lineman Nick Sabouren, sophomore lineman Chris Campbell and junior defensive back Anthony Torres all were vital to the team’s success.  Sabouren stepped into Togiaso’s position at offensive tackle, Mohseni moved from defensive end to Togiaso’s defensive tackle spot and Han stepped into Mohseni’s defensive end position. According to LJCD head coach Jeff Hutzler, Campbell, who spelled Mohseni at defensive tackle, was also outstanding.  With Hatfield at less than 100 percent, Torres relieved him of his safety duties so that he could concentrate on quarterbacking. Hatfield led the offense in the first half, hitting on 5-of-6 passes for 149 yards and 3 TDs, all to junior Mical Bailey, for 12, 13 and 85 yards. Hatfield also rushed for 15 yards and a one-yard TD on six carries.  Senior running back Montell Allen recorded his second consecutive 100-yard rushing game by pounding out 134 yards, including a 26-yard TD on 15 carries. Bailey, meantime, led all receivers with his three TD catches.  Allen led all defenders with 14 tackles, six of them solo stops, with Bailey adding eight tackles and one sack.  In junior varsity action, LJCD stayed unbeaten (5-0) by scoring a 41-20 victory over Escondido Charter. LJCD will host Calipatria High this Friday in its annual homecoming game at 7 p.m. Elsewhere, The Bishop’s School came away with a 17-14 victory over Bishop Union High last Friday. “We were losing at halftime 7-0, but the kids kept on playing hard and never got down,” Bishop’s School head coach Joel Allen commented. “We even had a 99-yard drive that ended with a fumble on their one yard line. Even with all that, the kids played hard and found a way to pull out the win.” Alec Fisher, AJ Chedrick and Christian Theur combined for more than 250 yards rushing. According to Allen, Hector Eribez did a great job managing the game.  “The defense played tough all night and was able to once again force the opposition into a one-dimensional team,” Allen added. La Jolla High had last weekend off and will host Hoover High this Friday, Oct. 16.
