By David A. Willauer-Contributing Writer-Warriors Stadium-Fallbrook High School- Fallbrook, CA: After a 1-9 rebuilding year, former Vista alum and Montana alum David Fa'atu'lese in his second year at the helm of the Panthers knows what it take to build a football program and found the talent to do so.

Near the end of the game after Fallbrook had the ball, Vista's Edyn Thompson and William Calderon stripped the ball and Ashawn Mitchell ran in for a fumble recovery to make the final score 29-20 in favor of the Panthers.
Vista and Montana Grizzly alum David Fa'atu'lese on winning the opener: "To be honest with you this is a big win for these kids, they have gone 3 years of varsity football without a winning season." "So we came out to win the opener which is a big projectory for this program we have the coaches of motivating the kids in the off season after the summer." "On our first touchdown Abel Lopez's 18 yard field goall we knew this game was going to be a dog fight as we are a well coached team as we get to know each other so we need to keep running the program to bring back the glory. "
