Granite Hills Looking for First Win

Granite Hills aiming for 1st win against Chula Vista

The Eagles of East County haven’t had a winning record since 1995, the same year they knocked off Helix for a share of the Grossmont League title with Monte Vista. The Eagles of 2008 are not off to a great start if they plan on beating this 13 year losing streak of teams with losing records. Granite will aim at Chula Vista this Friday night and try to improve to 1-2 on the year so far. Granite fell to Westview last week in a heart breaker on the road 37-27. The Eagles defense was burned by the Westview quarterback & receiver combo of Hansen to Sousa. The senior wide receiver, Sousa, had a banner game in the Wolverines' come-from-behind win, catching six balls for 174 yards and two touchdowns – including a 68-yard score. Sousa ranks among the section leaders in receiving yards and catches after two weeks. Granite Hills led by Coach Randy Dewitt had his ball club in a nice position heading into the final quarter where the Eagles were ahead 28-21 at the start of the 4 quarter on the road.
This week again the Eagles will be tested early and late from Chula Vista High School who is 1-1 so far this year. The Spartans have some awesome athletes and went 8-3 just a year ago. Chula Vista just put up 40 large points against Sweetwater last week and doesn’t show signs of slowing down against the Eagles. Due to some bleacher problems at Chula Vista Friday night’s game will be played at Otay Ranch High School. The Eagles will have to get their senior tailback off to a great start and control the ball to keep the Spartan offense off the field. The Eagles will come up just short this week

--Prediction (Granite Hills 21 – Chula Vista 31)
