The Friday night lights shone brightly as the De La Salle Spartans took on Monte Vista in their homecoming game in Concord. It was clear from the start that De La Salle was in control, with Dominic Kelley and Toa Faavae scoring early touchdowns in the first quarter. The Bay Area News Group's top-ranked team, now 8-0, dominated the field while Monte Vista struggled to keep up, ending the game with a score of 42-7.
The Spartans were coming off a resounding victory against San Ramon Valley the week before, and they showed no signs of slowing down. Faavae's 55-yard run in the second quarter extended their lead to 21-0, and he later threw a 46-yard pass to Emery Speight for another touchdown, bringing the score to 28-0. Faavae's accuracy was on point, with a perfect 5 for 5 passing record for 100 yards.
Kelley continued the scoring streak in the third quarter with a 22-yard run, bringing the score to 35-0. Monte Vista fought hard and managed to get on the board with a 3-yard run by Ian Ondricek, but it wasn't enough to catch up to De La Salle. The Spartans sealed the deal with a 3-yard run by Gregory Jones in the fourth quarter, leading to a running clock for the remainder of the game.
In other high school football news, Serra's head coach reached an impressive milestone, and Bay Area teams were preparing for their upcoming games. De La Salle will be hitting the road next week to face California and Clayton Valley before wrapping up their regular season. Meanwhile, Monte Vista will be playing their last home games against Amador Valley and San Ramon Valley in the coming weeks.
The battle on the field may have ended, but the rivalry between these two teams will surely continue in the seasons to come. For now, De La Salle can celebrate their victory and look forward to the challenges ahead.
