Junior quarterback Richie Donati and wide receiver Ricky Demarest combined for three scoring passes to lead Bishop Diego High to a 30-13 victory over Calabasas at San Marcos High Saturday night.

Bishop Diego went to its air attack quickly and often, scoring on its first offensive series on a 10-yard touchdown pass from Donati to flanker Benito Rivera.

Calabasas put together an 11-play, 78-yard scoring drive capped by quarterback Ron Adelman’s seven-yard touchdown pass to tight end Cameron LaBrache to tie the score, 7-7, early in the second quarter.

Donati then threw touchdown passes of 21 and 34 yards to Demarest in the second quarter and a 10-yard touchdown in the third quarter capped the Cardinal scoring.

Donati also added a 29-yard field goal in the third quarter for Bishop Diego.

Esperanza 20, Santa Ana 7--Jarod Smith rushed for 107 yards in 14 carries and scored on a 70-yard run off a double reverse and Marcus Tayui had a 25-yard touchdown to lead the Aztecs over Santa Ana at Placentia’s Bradford Stadium.
