La Jolla's football team faces a familiar opponent Saturday night, Oct. 3. The Vikings faced Christian High in a playoff game last year, and had their hopes of going to the semifinals dashed, losing 42-38. Christian won the CIF Division III title two weeks later.
The same quarterback, David Jeremiah, and the same basic team are back. The Patriots feature a mini-back, Adrian Petty, who stands only 5'6". But his motor level reminds one of Darren Sproles. Petty, in Christian's first three games, carried 46 times for 301 yards and two touchdowns. He had 100-plus yards in two of those games.
So the Vikings know what they're up against. It will be a little different playing on Saturday night instead of Friday, but that is because Christian doesn't have a field of its own and borrows Granite Hills' stadium. The field is occupied Friday night.
The quarterback completed 44 of 75 passes for 776 yards and nine touchdowns, with four interceptions in Christian's first three games.
Last year's playoff game was a shootout between Jeremiah and La Jolla's Collin Rugg.
