PREP FOOTBALL ROUNDUP

Brethren Christian 28, Los Angeles Murphy 6--Brethren Christian fullback Adrian Castillo rushed for 274 yards and two touchdowns for the Warriors in a nonleague game Saturday night at Lakewood Artesia High.

Castillo scored his first touchdown on an 11-yard run at 9:17 of the second quarter, increasing Brethren Christian’s lead to 21-0. The 5-foot-10 fullback scored the Warriors’ final touchdown on a two-yard run midway through the fourth quarter. Castillo also recovered a fumble early in the game to set up Justin Miller’s 39-yard touchdown pass to Nathan Farris.

“I was planning on 300 [yards],” said Castillo, who also broke a 63-yard run late in the third quarter. “But I’m not worrying about individual goals because it’s all about team work. That’s what Brethren Christian football is all about.”

The Warriors marched 63 yards in four plays on their opening drive to take a 7-0 lead. Miller, a senior playing his first game for Brethren Christian, capped the drive by throwing a 26-yard touchdown pass to tight end Joey Jopski.

The Warrior defense, lead by David Libby and Caleb Davis, forced two Noble turnovers and sacked quarterback James Heim four times.

L.A. Murphy’s lone score came at 8:52 of the third quarter after a Brethren Christian turnover. Lewis Blanton scored on a two-yard run.
