Game of the Week: Elsinore at Vista del Lago

THE DETAILS:
Elsinore vs. Vista del Lago
CIF-Southern Section – Week 2
At Moreno Valley (Calif.) Vista del Lago High School
Kickoff: 7:30 p.m. PT on Thursday, Aug. 31
ELSINORE (1-1 overall, 0-0 Ivy League) got off to a strong start in Week 0 with a 29-6 win over Grand Terrace but stumbled back with a 10-point loss to Temecula Valley in its home opener last week. The Tigers are playing two QBs – senior Robby Whitlock and sophomore Brayden Stankus – and neither of them played well against TV.
HEAD COACH: Randy Kirschman
ROSTER – QB: #4-Robby Whitlock, Sr. (5-foot-9, 155 pounds); QB: #9-Brayden Stankus, Soph. (6-1, 178); RB/DB: #17-Caden Maxfield, Sr. (5-11, 180); DB/SB: #9-Julian Santoyo, Sr. (5-11, 180); WR/DB: #23-Andrew Irvin, Sr., (6-foot, 163); WR/DB: #11-David Ibibosemoses, Sr. (6-foot, 170); DE/TE: #82-Joey Garcia, Sr. (6-3, 2-5); T/DT: #71-Jackson Ferguson, Sr. (5-11, 245); FS/RB: #13-Floyd Harvey, Sr. (5-10, 170)
VISTA DEL LAGO (2-0 overall, 0-0 Sunbelt) can score points with senior QB Larry Joyce but can the Ravens stop a quality opponent? VdL narrowly escaped with a 42-41 win at REV in Week 0 before blowing out rather hapless Valley View last week. Junior LB Tyler Cortez has been wreaking havoc with three sacks and one forced fumble.
HEAD COACH: Michael Touhy
ROSTER – QB: #9-Larry Joyce, Sr. (5-foot-9, 150 pounds); RB: #24-Justin Concepcion, Jr. (5-11, 170); RB/DB: #2-Fabian Bolanos, Jr. (6-foot, 170); WR: #1-Keith Woods, Sr. (5-9, 160); WR: #5-Jaden Carter, Sr. (6-5, 170); OL/DL: #56-Kaleb Brockington, Sr. (5-10, 240); DL: #99-Cevion Lonzo, Sr. (6-3, 185); LB: #44-Tyler Cortez, Jr. (6-foot, 225); LB: #4-Amir Stephens, Sr. (5-10, 185); K: #80-Oscar Colindres, Sr. (5-9, 160)
THE DIFFERENCE:
Vista del Lago has an experienced quarterback under center while Elsinore is still learning and deciding which is better – the limited guy with experience or the big kid that’s going to make mistakes?
THE FINAL SCORE (PROJECTED):
Vista del Lago 20, Elsinore 18
