Running back Kali Deberry dominated

the first half, along with fellow back

Joseph Crudo.

The La Jolla Twirlers performed to a song

by Earth, Wind, and Fire, played by

the LJHS band (partially in view

Deberry scores on a five-yard plunge

for a 21-13 lead just before halftime.

The drive took seven plays and

covered 65 yards.

UC's Deshaun Hille (1) crosses the goal line

untouched from the one-yard line.

The Cents closed to 14-13 late in the

second period. Their drive stretched

19 plays over parts of two quarters,

covering almost 100 yards.

Junior Hesh Hertz (15) goes 15 yards

on a pass from QB Thomas Dietrich (not

in view) on fourth-and-seven to keep UC's

drive going. The Cents scored four plays

later midway through the second period.

Senior forward Reese Lejuwaan scored a goal with 8:37 left in the first quarter, and La Jolla (now 6-3 in the City League, 16-6 overall) defended Cathedral Catholic the rest of the way to take home a 1-0 victory from the Carmel Valley campus Tues., Oct. 27.

Lejuwaan, a 5'8" returner from last year's varsity, as well as a captain, received an assist from teammate Ella Pearl for the score.

The Dons fall to 1-8 in league, 5-12 overall, with one game left ahead of next week's playoffs.

Recently, Viking head coach Amanda Combs Warford was proud of her unit for prevailing over Canyon Hills in overtime, 2-1, on Oct. 6. The game was played during the first round of City League play. Warford pointed out that the Rattlers, under coach Kat Keivens, have four NCAA Division 1 commits, to Harvard, Columbia, Cal, and UC Davis.

In the current posting on MaxPreps (updated Oct. 26), La Jolla is ranked fifth in the San Diego Section, behind Bishop's (1), Canyon Hills (3), and Scripps Ranch (4).

The Vikings, in Warford's 10th season, are ranked seventh in the state. They are partially helped by a good strength-of-schedule rating of 11.48.
