Large-schools football roundup: Windsor outburst leads to 35-7 win against Montgomery

After being held scoreless in the opening quarter, Windsor erupted for 28 unanswered points in the second and went on to defeat visiting Montgomery 35-7 in an NBL football game Friday night.

David Escarcega scored two of the Jaguars’ touchdowns in the second. He opened the scoring with a 3-yard run and then found the end zone from 1-yard out.

Quarterback Max Brown rushed for the other first half touchdown (1-yard run) and then hooked up up Anthony Reya on a 29-yard scoring play.

Brown was nearly perfect with his passing. The 180-pound senior completed eight of 10 attempts for 193 yards.

Curtis Johnson was his favorite target. The senior 6-foot-4 wide receiver hauled in four passes good for 103 yards. Reya caught three balls for 48 yards.

Escarcega led the ground attack with 63 yards on 16 carries. Jackson Baughman finished with 41 yards on nine touches.

“Our game plan was to just try to improve our execution,” coach Tom Kirkpatrick said. “For the most part, we did that that. It was a positive game for us.

“I thought our defense played real well, especially the linebackers.That would be Mitchell Bruning, Sam Fletcher and Anthony Spallino.”

Montgomery finally found the Windsor end zone in the fourth quarter on a 15-yard pass from Ricky Medina to Pascal Camarillo.

Scoring has been a problem for the Vikings this season. This was the fourth game they’ve been limited to only one touchdown.

Montgomery is 0-6 and 0-3 in league. Windsor improved to 4-2 and 2-1.

MARIA CARRILLO 49, SANTA ROSA 15

At Santa Rosa High, Cole Martin ran for three touchdowns to propel the Pumas to victory.

Martin averaged more than 10 yards per carry as he finished 102 yards while rushing nine times. He opened the scoring with a 39-yard run and also scored from 27 and 8 yards out.

Midway through the first quarter the score was 7-6. However, Martin’s second touchdown and a 3-yard run by Josh Groesbeck increased the advantage to 21-6.

Groesbeck also scored another touchdown, this one on an 8-yard run in the fourth quarter.

“Groesbeck did a lot of the dirty work,” Maria Carrillo coach Jay Higgins said. “He got us close and then we punched it in.

“Other times, we got big plays and scored quickly.”

After falling behind, Santa Rosa stepped up its passing attack. The Panthers completed 17 of 36 for 223 yards.

Meanwhile, Carrillo depended on its ground attack. The Pumas attempted 12 passes and completed four for 62 yards.

On the ground, the visitors averaged better than 7 yards per rush while holding Santa Rosa to less than half that figure.

The Panthers finished with 18 first downs, eight more than Carrillo. Santa Rosa also had an edge in time of possession.

The Pumas evened their overall record to 3-3 and are 2-1 in the NBL.

Santa Rosa lost for the fourth time in a row and is 2-4 and 0-3.
