Reedley 28 Morro Bay 35
Quarterback Sands Dougherty came into the playoffs as the third leading passer in passing yards per game across the whole state and 14th across the country. In the Division V first round, he and the offense continued to dominate extending their streak to 30-plus points in a game to six.
Two teams at 4-6 heading into Division V playoffs, Morro Bay was up as much 28 points as they will host Atascadero next week in the quarterfinals.
Highland 8 San Luis Obispo 26
Jace Gomes began the game with a rushing touchdown and the Tigers kicked it into high gear with the Scots nowhere near their tail. With a forced safety on Highland and a muffed punt by the Scots, the Tigers managed to sneak in 16 points with just two minutes on the clock in the first half. This San Luis Obispo team lead by Pat Johnston are Sunset League Champs for a reason. Jacob Garcia and Cody Johnson were credited with those two touchdowns and they’re a big reason this team has won eight games in a row.
Their next challenge comes next Friday in Visalia against Central Valley Christian and it’ll be their toughest challenge yet as this game is expected to be close in numbers.
