Serra intercepts / or fumble recovery in deep Wilcox territory and return for TD
Serra 27 Wilcox 7 Q4 7:31
Serra special teams and defense steps up after half and Wilcox turnovers the big difference. Wilcox had to play a perfect game to be in this game.

MC wins 7-0 they are going to be throttled by CN next week they lose by 3 scores.......I am so disappointed to see how bad MC passing game is and outside of Matteo Perez they have zilch! CN going to load up the box and man the receivers and it’s a wrap, plus MC loves penalties
They looked bad compared to earlier in the season. What happened? Defense looks OK, but anemic offense.
yeah they are too dependent on Perez but Ingrassia their sophomore QB has regressed end of the season and they have no studs at WR.....they kept digging themselves holes with penalties and Acalanes knew they had to pass MC had nothing for them, luckily they have a nice defense but CN going to score at least 3 tds and that’s more then enough against MC
You say the same thing every year they play Newman! Have some faith my man
They have our number!! MC always scares me. Maybe not a good showing againt Acalanes but I always worry. Anybody know where game is? CN is playing well but I always fear MC.
That tells me the DE's are not sticking to their assignments. But then again maybe they are sense Wilcox could only muster up two scores. What they average like 30 points a game? I wouldn't expect the Padre's defense to shut out the Chargers offense but I did expect coach Walsh to limit their veer big plays. Basically if the Chargers don't beat the Padre's with a passing game they won't beat the Padre's. Seems about right from the outcome of this contest.
Sounds about how I figured this would end. No superior passing game out of the veer and a Walsh coached team will usually weather the storm to a V. This is the issue I have with Monterey Trails. No legit or elite passing game to go with their veer running attack. Both Wilcox and MT would be dangerous if they had an elite passing game to go with their running game.
It must feel good to go from 0-10 to playing for a section championship next week. Congrats so far! Should be a good game against elk grove.
My first year of JR football(pee wee/6th grade) we went 8-2 and had to face Sutter the first post season game. We scored more points than they let up the whole season combined and we still lost by like 4 points it was a total bummer.
Oh by the way, that pee wee team is the Paradise senior class of 2020!
I thought the MT QB was fine. He made noce passes when he needed to. Wilcox QB also made some nice throws. When he passed they seemed to move the ball well. Just too many turnover mistakes.
The Chargers also committed too many big penalties and failed to field or fair-catch too many punts, forcing their offense to operate deep in their own territory too often. That last blight helped to cause an easy Serra TD on a backward pass that wasn't caught or covered. Serra alertly recovered and scored. Wilcox self-destructed time and again. Not a pretty picture by any stretch.
To be certain, the Chargers fell victim to many self inflicted mistakes. The fumbles were costly. Not sure if you were at game or watching online, but I was there and I came away with a slightly different perspective. Those rugby style punts were very short and low and directed away from #2. He had little to no chance to fair catch most of them. The Padres were also helped out quite a bit by some San Mateo County home cooking from the officials on a number of occasions. Two of those calls were or lack there of led to a 14 point swing in the 4th quarter which would have resulted in a much tighter game or even a Wilcox win. The first being the incomplete pass/lateral that went as a recovery and touchdown for Serra. Whether the pass was a lateral or not can be debated, but the official who made the call was not in position to make the call. That’s not the issue. If you were at the game, you could clearly hear an official blow a whistle as soon as the ball hit the ground. That is the reason everyone stopped playing. #1 from then Serra picked up the ball with no resistance. After a lengthy conference, officials stated that the whistle came from the stands. TD Serra. It did not. The play should have been ruled an inadvertent whistle and the down replayed. The second scoring play that went against the Chargers came in the next drive by the Chargers that ended on the Serra goal line. Wilcox has 3rd and goal from the 2 and appeared to score. The officials ruled that the ball carrier was stopped at the half yard line. On 4th and goal, the Chargers once again ran up the middle. The entire Wilcox offensive line and ball carrier ended up in the endzone, but after another very lengthy discussion the officials ruled that the ball down at the one inch line. Multiple video angles show the ball carrier was definitely in the endzone. Take away one score from Serra and add one for Wilcox and that’s a very close game. I thought both defenses played very well. Congrats go out to both teams in a hard hitting battle that was everything a CCS semifinal between top teams should be.
I'm sure he did. But let's see how that passing attack works when the run game is put on mute not blast. I've seen this show before and it has parents in the stands second guessing the play calling. I've seen Johnny's father in the stands yelling, "why not pass the darn ball the run game isn't working". But hey, I'm just a gotdamn poster.
He has an offer to play at USD, and towards the end of the season I know UC Davis and San Jose State had interest. There may be a couple others. No other offers than USD yet. Injury really hurt his exposure in the playoffs. He was a special RB this year. Injuries really hurt Palma offense and Salinas 5 starter players suspended for the playoff game hurt them. I think both full strength could have challenged for the title. Villegas has pretty good track times and I imaine he'll compete this year. He didn't as a junior but as a soph was very fast in 100 and 200. Jon Jon Bering their other skill player will play baseball at Santa Clara. Micah Olivas WR has an offer to play football at USD. Next season will probably a have a one or two D1 players (lineman and linebacker), and some talented Juniors. Not as much speed as this year at skill positions but line and defense should be good and QB will be good.

Good stuff! Elated for him and the other players that are taking their talent to the next level. Wish all of them well. The Junkie
you score 14 and 7 against redwood and acalanes but then your going to explode and score 24 on a team better then both of those? Not sold on that......and I don’t think MC gives up 21 points I think it will be close and low scoring in CN favor
I like newman 17-14. FG wins it. Agree it will be tight all the way.
