DiLuigi: From Goat to Hero

| | Comments (0) |

Had Moorpark held on for the victory, Canyon's all-everything RB JJ DiLuigi might've ended up the goat. DiLuigi was called for a costly pass interference call on Moorpark's Josh Smith on the Musketeers' final scoring drive. The play kept the drive going and set up what looked to have been the game-winning touchdown.

DiLuigi doesn't normally play on defense, because coach Harry Welch likes to keep him fresh, but with two starters --Chris Kingsbury and Mike Loucks out with injuries -- DiLuigi had to play.

A couple plays later, the PI call was a distant memory as DiLuigi got Canyon's rally started with a 36-yard reception down the far sideline in which he broke a tackle and gained at least 25 yards after the catch.

``My anger level went up after that (PI) play and it stayed up,'' he said.
