HS FOOTBALL: Grace under pressure

Grace Brethren (4-2) has yet to defeat a .500 opponent, and the Lancers will be put to the test Friday at distant Mission Prep (5-1) in a nonleague game in San Luis Obispo.

Jack Gilliland, Grace Brethren's standout multi-purpose back, came through with an inspiring performance in 59-17 win over visiting Santa Clara. Grace Brethren was ahead by just one point at halftime, and Gilliland was angry.

"He called out the team at halftime, then he scored three touchdowns in the second half," Grace Brethren coach Josh Henderson said. "I think we grew up a little last night."

Gilliland had seven receptions for 120 yards and two touchdowns, and he also returned a punt 65 yards for a touchdown and had an interception.
