Friday, November 22, 2024-Carlsbad High School-Carlsbad, CA: In an anticipated Division I CIF San Diego Football Tournament Quarterfinal round before a capacity crowd looked on at Swede Krcmar Stadium Stadium on the campus of Carlsbad High School the opponent were the Broncos of Rancho Bernardo under 2nd year football coach Eric Weddle. His son Gage Weddle dazzled the crowd with his passing (144 yards) and running, (59 yards). Rancho Bernardo was defeated by the Lancers by a 26-0 score.

Kai Brown, a sophomore running back, started his 2nd varsity game for Carlsbad after being called up from the JV squad carried the ball for 174 yards, with touchdown runs of 11, 34 and 5 yards. QB Eli MacNeal threw for 77 yards. Jett Kenady (committed to Cal Berkeley for baseball) contributed on a 90-yard kickoff return for the other score.

Thadd MacNeill Head Football Coach at Carlsbad High School: "We had to contain Gage Weddle who is a very dynamic young player. We won the game for the most part as Kai Brown in his second week since our last game rushed for 195 yards against El Camino and he is going to be a good one. On the turnovers we got sloppy with the ball but our defense was outstanding in shutting out Rancho Bernardo."

"Jett Kenady, who currently plays baseball and is committed to Cal, looked for the right hole at the right time with the help of our blockers." said Coach Kenady

Dave Daniels followed on a 97 yard run for a TD.

The NIghthawks of Del Norte 7-4 came back to cut the lead at 7 to 21-14 as quarterback Diesel Taylor threw for 184 yards and 2 touchdown passes 1 of 6 yards to Anthony Taylor along with a 31 yards to Braxton Jones (68 yards receiving)

Former Green Bay Packers and current Del Norte head football coach Nick Barnett "A great job by our defense they stepped up for, we didn't play the way we wanted to at the beginning, we found a way on how to pick up the win and we did."

"We keyed in on NIck Letulli as Oceanside has an excellent ballclub and we knew it was going to be a battle as I tell my guys if we go down we still have to fight and to keep going for us to win." "For us to play San Marcos next round we have to prepare ourselves like we do for every contest is to work hard

Del Norte will travel to San Marcos in a Division I quarter final game on Friday
