La Jolla defeated Mission Bay Oct. 24 for the first time in 15 years. That streak reportedly consisted of 10 games, but it had to be more. LJHS has played Mission Bay every year in the Western League since I began taking photos of them in Fall 2004.
There was one game in there when Mission Bay superstar Dillon Baxter scored seven touchdowns himself in the air and on the ground. What was tough to watch, though he was a brilliant athletic talent, was it happening on La Jolla's home turf.
So, to end the skein on Mission Bay's Homecoming was really something.
Said Viking coach Jason Carter by email: "That win was paramount for our team. It took 15 years for La Jolla to beat MB but the streak is finally over."
