Surprising everyone in District 16 of 3A-DI is the Bishop Badgers (4-3, 4-0). Their next match-up against the San Diego Vaqueros (5-2, 3-1) is the Friday Night Fever Game of the Week for week nine.
San Diego has three of the last four district titles and become a consistent playoff team.
Now at 5-2 and 3-1 in District 16, the senior class is looking to go to their fourth straight playoffs. Coach Bo Ochoa said the seniors are the strength of the team.
“They done a great job demonstrating, practicing hard, getting ready for games, getting focused. And, all the other things besides football too, passing class and being role models,” Ochoa said.
“Learning from the last year, losing in the first round it’s just going to pick us up more every year, so. My freshman year they went three rounds deep. We’re just trying to build off that and work from there,” Vaqueros senior quarterback Jayden Lozano said.
“We’ve just been putting that work in extra. Whether off-season, in-season we lift weights,” Vaqueros senior offensive and defensive lineman Kaleb Rodriguez said.
