Granite Hills v Westview
Sept 12th 2008 @ Westview
 

The Granite Hills JV Eagles football team found their way to the northern part of San Diego County playing their first away game of the 2008 - 09 football season against the Westview Wolverines. The Eagles came away from the game outscoring their opponent 27 - 14.

The first half had some challenges to both offense and defense, and the Eagles found themselves behind by the score of 14 - 7. Some fine play was displayed by the entire offensive and defense lines but complicated by wide receiver Gilbert Perez having to sit out suffering from a nagging groin injury and quarterback Cory Lockman getting sacked hard; and out of the game for almost an entire quarter. Alternate quarterback Brenden Darcy stepped in and kept the offensive rhythm going and engineered the only scoring drive for the Eagles in the first half.

The second half witnessed a stellar performance by the Eagles defensive team. The defense held the Wolverines scoreless in the second half contributing to the confidence of the offense. Two passing touchdowns by returning quarterback Cory Lockman both to D'Anthony Young and one running play by Kevin Valenzuela resulted in the Eagles scoring 20 points. 

 Some additional noteworthy player and game highlights are: (1) Nate Huff who seemed to be making plays all over the field and sustaining some hard hits dished out by the Wolverines defense, and (2) Jorge Bruno who, without hesitation, took over the kicking duties in the place of the injured Gilbert Perez. The offense piled up 318 total yards while the defense held the Wolverines to only -5 yards in the second half.

Again, the final score was a Granite Hills Eagles win 27 - 14
