THE SILVER SCREEN

COSTLY INJURY

Esperanza lost fullback Tom Joyner for the season with a knee injury, Coach Gary Meek said after the Aztecs’ 10-3 loss to Long Beach Poly. Joyner was injured after making an 11-yard reception in the second quarter. He is the team’s leading scorer with six touchdowns.

ON THE MOVE

Juan Rodriguez of Estancia was a busy player late in the first half of the Eagles’ 30-3 loss to Canyon. On successive plays, Rodriguez kicked a 37-yard field goal, kicked off into the end zone and intercepted a pass. He was preparing for a 55-yard field goal on the next play, but time ran out in the half.
