Blowout victory: Wolves leave the Reseda Regents scoreless

After an incredible 36-30 win against San Fernando High School during their previous game, the Wolves went against Reseda High School at home.

The bottom line | The Wolves football team was tasked to play against the Reseda High School Regents on Friday, Oct. 11, and ultimately triumphed, winning with a score of 38-0.

 

Pre game thoughts | “I feel good about this upcoming game,” varsity football captain junior Abraham Ceja said. “We beat them last year in a league game and I can say that this year we have a better team both mentally and physically.” 

 

Highlights | 

  • With three minutes left to go in the first quarter, junior Leelan Castro (#10) scored a field goal making the score 3-0

  • A pass thrown from quarterback Carlos Herrera (#7) to Lewis Wheeling scored a touchdown with under a minute left in the first quarter
  • In the third quarter, wide receiver Chris Gomez (#9) received the ball from Herrera, adding six additional points to the scoreboard
  • Great defense was shown by the entire defensive lineup, keeping the Regents out of reach of the end zone

 

What’s next | The next team that’s standing in the Wolves’ way is the Canoga Park Hunters. They will face off on Friday, Oct. 18, in the Wolves’ den. The following game will be away and take place on Oct. 24, against Sylmar High School.

 

Team thoughts | “I feel like we performed well today,” wide receiver and strong safety junior Jeremy Moreno said. “The offense started off slow and a little sloppy so the defense really had to step up, but other than that, I think we did good.”

 

Our thoughts | This game was a great step forward for the team. The past seasons the team has had a bad reputation. Yet this season is looking bright with the amount of improvement that the team has shown in every game that they’ve played this season.

About the contributor
Isabel Valles
Isabel Valles, Athletics Editor
Through participating in multiple sports writing competitions, I was able to prove my commitment to the class and was chosen to become sports editor in my second year of journalism. My love for sports writing came around the time my love for sports developed around 6 years ago. Another thing I love about writing about sports is being able to inform and catch up readers about games that they may have missed. Currently I play three sports, flag football, track and field, and basketball. After high school I plan on attending either the University of Pennsylvania or the University of Santa Cruz. My goal for this year as editor is to become a better leader and learn from any mistakes that I might make in the process.
