Lincoln High Makes Debut in Top 10

Thanks to quarterback Malcolm Glover, Lincoln High made the biggest advancement of any team in the county over the weekend and is now ranked sixth in The Times’ Top 10.

Glover threw three touchdown passes to lead Lincoln to its second win of the year, 41-10, over Patrick Henry. Unranked last week, Lincoln beat Centennial, 56-8, in its opening game and now leads the county in scoring with 97 points.

Meanwhile, in the season’s most important Top 10 game to date, Vista downed El Camino, 28-7, behind the play of quarterback Sal Aunese, who rushed for 151 yards and one touchdown. The Panthers (2-0) improved from No. 6 to No. 3 in this week’s rankings, with El Camino dropping to seventh. The loss was the first in 14 games for El Camino.
