Wilson gives Mission Viejo a scare

| | Comments (0) |

 

     Last week, Wilson pushed back against Lakewood for a half before the Lancers gathered themselves for the win. Friday, they did the same against Mission Viejo before a 41-14 Diablos win in the first round of the playoffs.

    Mario Morales used a new-look offensive set on their first drive and the defense has MV's offense on its heels. But Wilson's lack-of-depth---too many two-way players---and two fumbles by Ezell Ruffin proved to be the difference.

    What Wilson did learn was that they have a bonafide quarterback the next two years in Brett Harper. The soph had several big plays and will only get better. Kicker Alex Boy will also be back.
