HIGH SCHOOL NOTEBOOK

The offensive player of the game for Buena High last week?

The entire offensive line.

Led by tackle Alan Morales and guard Ryan Johnson, Buena rushed for 411 yards in a 49-28 victory over Ventura, prompting the coaching staff to reward all of the Bulldogs’ bulldozers.

“We’re going to have to buy a few more plaques,” Coach Rick Scott said.

First-year Moorpark Coach Tim Lins never saw a ground-game scheme he didn’t like while coaching at Crespi.

But Dylan McLaughlin attempted a school-record 57 passes in Moorpark’s 24-22 loss to Lompoc last week.

“We had trouble running the ball because they put up a front,” Lins said, “so we just went to the air. It was foggy, so we figured their defenders couldn’t see the ball.”

Almost, but not quite. The Musketeers scored their points in the fourth quarter, but the rally fell short.

McLaughlin finished with 31 completions for 418 yards and three touchdowns with one interception.
