Indians scalp Vallejo
That was a headline from my senior year when we beat Vallejo in basketball. It most definitely applies here. Napa ruined Vallejo's homecoming with a 49-28 win. Some of you may have read the Napa Register on Saturday morning and may have been confused by the opening quote from Coach Herlocker. That is because that wasn't what he said. His words were, "we made their homecoming queen cry." Makes a little more sense huh?
At any rate, it was a fun game to watch and we saw a lot of kids get some PT (playing time) so that was cool.
Coach Mott had a couple of key things to say about Vallejo. The exciting part for him was seeing some new players really step up, namely Kevin Ruestle, Stephen Oja, Kyle Green, and Stuart Chester.
He was very impressed with the second team O-Line played and he even went so far as to say that they played as well, if not better, than the starters. (Nothing like a little competition, eh boys?) Robert Butler graded out as an A for the game as did Scott Johnson. (For those of you unfamiliar with how a lineman is graded, it's based on blocking percentage after watching the film.)
Once again, Napa's special teams made an impact with a 2-point conversion, a successful onside kick and 5-6 PAT outing. One downfall was a kick return we gave up but the Indians turned right around and returned Vallejo's kickoff for a touchdown. Napa also aired it out a bit and had some key plays with their passing game.
Friday's opponent, Woodcreek, is from Roseville. They are in the same league as Granite Bay and they are very quick on offense and defense. They are 2-1, with wins over Davis and
Bear River from Grass Valley and they fell to Casa Robles in Week 1.
Napa is looking forward to a tough game and will most likely be without Linden Fowler, Gabe Guastucci, Carlton Garza, and Jeremiah Luke. However, that will just mean more opportunities for others to shine including Justin Ruffino, who the Indians brought up from the JVs and played well vs Vallejo.
Kick off is at 7:30 for the Varsity and 5:15 for the JVs at Memorial Stadium.
