HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL ROUNDUP
In another Metro game:
Chula Vista 28, Sweetwater 7--Lamar Bailey rushed 21 times for 201 yards and touchdowns of one and 60 yards, and Bubba Peterson scored twice on rushes of 10 and nine yards to lead No. 7 Chula Vista (7-2, 6-0) past Sweetwater (4-5, 2-4).
Grossmont 2-A League
El Capitan 14, Valhalla 10--The students of El Capitan voted running back Jessic Heise the homecoming king. Heise then thanked them with a two-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter to give the Vaqueros (6-2-1, 3-0) at least a tie for the league title.
Heise’s run capped an 80-yard drive and erased a 10-6 halftime deficit.
El Capitan Coach Dave Waasted had told his players at halftime, “We have to strap it on a little tighter.”
The Vaqueros did so, shutting out Valhalla (3-6, 1-2) in the final 24 minutes. Junior Eric Rockhold scored El Capitan’s first touchdown to make it 6-3. After a fumble by Valhalla’s Rob Reid, El Capitan had the ball on its 41-yard line. On the first play, Rockhold broke two tackles and scored on a 59-yard run.
Ed Brown of Valhalla returned the ensuing kickoff to El Capitan’s 45-yard line, and the Norsemen scored 10 plays later, on Brown’s one-yard run.
