Chick Embry Field at Wilson Stadium-Escondido High School-Escondido, CA-11-8-19: After 9 straight losing seasons from 2010 to 2018 4 under current head football coach Jud Boardman, the football tradition is back on the Cougars prowl as once again the offense have proved themselves today on Chick Embry Field at Wilson Stadium as quarterback Rob Ramo’s rushed for 50 yards scored 2 touchdowns of 3 and 2 yards each and passed for 76 yards to wide receiver Tajae Brooks (130 yards catching), Josue Flores 30 yards field goal paced (6-4) Escondido High School to a 31-7 over their school rival Caimans of Classical Academy at 5-5.
Jud Bordman on the win over Classical Academy: “Tonight vs. Classical Academy our squad hasn’t turned the ball over 10 times in the last 2 games but our defense played well as far as our 2 interceptions are concerned.” “We did great at managing tonight’s game on both sides of the football.” “Rob Ramos is a good athlete is our 3 year starting quarterback and he makes good reads and did a good job at scrambling in the end zone along with the 76 yard throw to Tajae Brooks, it’s the way how he executed the play and looked for him at the right time for the score as I give credit to our offensive line protecting our runners and passers throughout the game.”
” James Duncan is a good athlete at and does well under pressure plus has a good size at 6’5″ and a good arm.” “We have top seed Santana they are having a great season they are coached well so we have to get healed up and do our homework to prepare for the Sultans.”
For the Caimans of Classical Academy qb James Duncan threw for 122 yards including a 15 yard strike to Max Brown. Luke Mizel led in rushing with 73 yards rushing and 70 yards receiving
This was Escondido’s first CIF First Round win since 2009 when Paul Gomes was the head football coach as they defeated Mira Mesa 47-21 score but in the quarter final round of the CIF Division Tournament fell short to Eastlakd 35-14.
