Braves, Norsemen, & Matadores Undefetaed

Braves, Norsemen, & Matadors only Undefeated Teams Left

Although it is still very early for Easy County football in the Grossmont League, who would have ever imagined that North and South favorites Helix and El Capitan would already have one loss to their overall record. League play is where it will matter most for rights to the Grossmont League North & South Championship Title. League play won’t begin until October. Helix won the League Championship last year in the South and West Hills won for the North in the Grossmont League.

The Braves of El Cajon Valley are off to a fast start this year and have already matched their win total from last year by handling Clairemont and San Ysidro in week one and week two. The Braves have scorched the opposition by averaging 43.0 points a game. Week #3 looks to be much of the same when ECV hosts El Centro Southwest on Friday night. The Braves should have no problem staying undefeated this week and look for another 40-50 point whooping from El Cajon Valley. Running back Gerald Kendall is averaging 5.6 yards a rush to start his senior season campaign. Junior Linebacker /Quarterback Alex Hann already has 4 TD’s (2 INT returns and 2 Rushing). Coach Dan Goodrich and staff have the Braves poised and ready to make a run at the Grossmont League North Title.

Last year because of the wild fires the Matadors lost their chance to duel Helix for the title in the South. Still Mt. Miguel went 8-4 behind their fearless leader former Grossmont College standout Tom Karlo. Coach Karlo has his Matadors off to another great start this year sitting at 2-0 with wins over San Diego Southwest and Castle Park. The Matadors travel to Utah this week for a rare out of state game against American Fork High School. Don’t be all to surprised when the Matadors return to California still undefeated at 3-0.

The Valhalla Norsemen opened up this season with a bye and took care of Mater Dei Catholic 33-10 in the season opener last Friday. Quarterback Pete Thomas starting his second year behind Coach Sutton’s new offense went a confident 16-23 for 241 Yards and 3 touchdowns. Defenses will get used to saying this prep athletes name as the 6’5” 205lb Thomas is only in 11th grade. Valhalla will take on Montgomery Friday night and look for the Norsemen to remain unbeaten and improve to 2-0.

Although it is still very early for Easy County football in the Grossmont League, who would have ever predicted the Braves, Matadors, and Norsemen would be the ONLY teams left after 2 weeks, without a loss on their overall record.
