Behind an outstanding defense and an explosion on offense, the Morgan Hill Tiny Mite Raiders Black team defeated East Bay 24-0 Saturday at the Morgan Hill Outdoor Sports Complex.
Led by quarterbacks Jayden Berjarano and Danny DeHaro, the offense came alive and scored four touchdowns. A combined three rushing touchdowns came by way of Bryce Luna and Jacob Wallace. DJ Buenrostro tallied the other score on a pass from DeHaro.
The defense, led by a host of defenders which included Michael Vasquez, Logan Harris, Everett Wallace, Jacob Tatom, Dominic Robles, Evan Tellez, Tyler Crouch, Christian Mali and Enrique Quistian, posted a shutout Ryker Saltonstal, Lucas Leisure and Katlyn Silva also contributed to the defensive effort.
Next up for the Mighty Mite Blacks is an 8:30 a.m. contest Sunday against the Menlo Vikings at Menlo Atherton High School.
Pee Wee
For the second consecutive week the Morgan Hill Pee Wee Raiders were shutout, this time by the East Bay Warriors by the score of 34-0 Saturday at the Morgan Hill Outdoor Sports Complex.
The visiting Warriors high-powered offense put 24 first-half points and never looked back. Morgan Hill’s defense withstood the early test but gave up too many big plays.
On the first play from scrimmage, Raider quarterback Jonathan Singleton hooked up with wide receiver Kyle Snopkowski for a 25-yard gain and the Pee Wee’s were on the move. However, the drive fizzled and the offense was non-existent the rest of the afternoon.
Hoping to get back on track, the Pee Wee’s travel to Menlo for a Sunday afternoon game against the Menlo Atherton Vikings. Game time is 2 p.m. at Menlo Atherton High School.
