“Escondido’s offense is real balanced they scored some points on the board but my running back Anthony Bowman is a warrior and has helped our squad out on both sides of the football we made him a linebacker on the 1 yard play was called our Stampede which is our shortage offense the kids came over and we ran the play after an injury to our regular wing back was out but we had to put kids at wing back and we coached him in the time this is a 3 yard offensive play.” said Coach Meyer
“Our defense is very thing especially in our secondary we have 4 of our regular defensive backs are out and we are starting 4 new back that are filling in they are all juniors one of the guys are in again it is tough for the defense to qb the ball again.” said Coach Meyer
“We play San Clemente at our place their squad is big up front their quarterback is the best in the state we are going to be thin after this game and after Monday we want to see now many kids are ready to play.”
