LOL, yeah... I score all the games on MaxPreps...

But as for the game.. frankly... I didn't come away with much confidence. The number of penalties we had were ridiculous... we had two TD's called back in that game and BOTH were not on the drives where we scored. 4 personal fouls! Against Chowchilla we got away with it, although the game was very close... against the opponents we're about to face? Killers, game breakers.

My son-in-law, Ashton's father, and I are going through every play of video... it is MORE than likely that Ashton had more completion yds called back than he had with non-penalty passing yards.

But yes, there was a lot of good as well - 5 TD's and 2 called back can't be considered failure. Ashton had 2 passing TD's and 2 rushing. And little Julien Velez was fantastic... the kid is the brother of I.J. who played with my oldest grandson and was just the same... 5 foot nothing and maybe 125lbs soaking wet wearing flannel. I didn't even know he was going to be the starter! He's a Soph, and no, he's not going to get much bigger. BUT.. if he can stay healthy he's going to give defenses fits.

Did you see what Buchanan did to Bakersfield? I'm not too familiar with Bakersfield teams so maybe this particular Bakersfield HS was not one of the powerhouses BUT... they were playing Buchanan so to even be on their schedule I would think they HAVE to be somewhat highly regarded. What a beat down.. sheesh. - JamesJM
