NEWBURY PARK (1-0)
at RIO MESA (1-0)
Our home opener was played on Thursday, September 18th at 4:00 p.m. against the Newbury Park Panthers.
"Captains Out!"
#56 OG Kody Herman, #9 TB/CB Jaylen Stewart,
#91 DE Ben Dixon and #11 FB/Falcon Tanner Wrout
Tanner Wrout rumbling up the middle!
Tanner picked up some tough yardage against a very good Panther defense. His totals were 15 carries for 83 yards and 1 pass reception for 13 yards.
WR/CB Blake Selig
Blake did not play in our first game due to injury. He has great speed and is seen here on a WR reverse.
Workhorse Jaylen Stewart
Jaylen probably plays too much in our games. He had 27 carries for 94 yards, a TD and a 2 point PAT. He also was in on 5 tackles and broke up a pass from his cornerback position.
Pass Completion!
#7 Trenton Thornton to #1 Blake Selig
Two Ancients pondering their futures!
NG #45 Zach Saldana
Zach played REALLY well in what turned into a defensive battle. He had 7 tackles including a 9 yard QB sack, 3 tackles for losses totaling 6 yards and he recovered a Panther fumble.

"RUN TO THE FOOTBALL!"
DE Ben Dixon recovering a Newbury Park fumble.
The extremely hard hitting, defensive game ended with Rio Mesa improving their record to 2-0 after hanging on to defeat Newbury Park 8-0!
The Spartans had 215 yards of total offense on 55 plays but lost 3 fumbles.
The Panthers were held to 41 plays and 179 yards of total offense but turned the ball over 4 times on 3 lost fumbles and an interception. We were able to hold them to only 6 completions in 20 passing attempts. Losing their starting QB on the second series of the game was an obvious turning point in the momentum of the game.
THE "5th QUARTER"
After the game was officially over, we had a "5th Quarter" consisting of 10 offensive and 10 defensive plays each to give the athletes who did not get into the game a chance to compete.
It was GREAT to see these kids out there who work so hard in practice!
#12 Richard "Slick" Vasquez at QB
#15 TB Roderick White exploded for two TD's in the extra period.
Defensive Swarm led by #60 Marcos Vega
