HIGH SCHOOL ROUNDUP : Chula Vista Shuts Out Bonita Vista

Chula Vista scored a 16-0 Metro Conference victory over Bonita Vista at Southwestern College in a football game that was delayed by one day because of a fatal shooting.

The game had been scheduled for Friday night at Bonita Vista, but was postponed until Saturday afternoon after Thursday night’s shooting death of Henry Laguit, 17, a Bonita Vista 12th grader.

The game was played in front of about 2,000, half of the expected crowd from a Friday night game. Chula Vista (3-1-1, 3-0) is the only unbeaten Metro team. Bonita Vista is 4-2, 2-1.

Chula Vista’s Jacob Lewis rushed nine times for 70 yards, including a 51-yard carry that set up its first touchdown. The 85-yard drive was capped by Miguel Lopez’s 6-yard pass from Joe Zander.

Zander completed six of 13 passes for 75 yards and two touchdowns and had no interceptions. He also passed eight yards to J.J. Rosier for a fourth quarter score.

Kevin Brennan kicked a 28-yard field goal.

Chula Vista limited Bonita Vista running back Brian Melancon to 50 yards on 13 carries. And Bonita Vista quarterback Wayne Nankill was four of 12 passing for 24 yards. He was intercepted four times, twice by Johnny Robinson and once each by Mike Hartsfield and Bobby Rieder, and sacked three times, twice by Angelo Llamas.

Chula Vista has now gone 34 games without a loss in Metro Conference play.
