SCFA Football Week 2: San Diego Mesa at Ventura College - 9/11/21 - 4pm

12-yard kickoff return it will be first at 10 for the olympians tell me when you're ready for me quarterback and a very pleasant good evening and we welcome you to the vc sports plex for ventura college pirate football here on socalcowicesports.com and the vc sports network we are underway in this week two match-up number 16 in california san diego mesa college paying a visit to ventura to take on the number three ranked pirates second and ten for san diego mesa they have the ball first from their own 23-yard line with gunner gray at the controls four wide receiver sned said he has the snap inside handoff not much there a gain of maybe a yard josh butler on the carry for the olympians who now face a third and nine first minute of play here a rare four o'clock start for this matchup between mesa and ventura college gunner gray will bring it to the line facing a third and nine against the pirate defense coming off a very strong outing in week one that saw them beat moore park college 62-5 for their part as the pass is incomplete looking for antoine sullivan that'll bring up fourth down just to finish the point for their part san diego mesa also very impressive in a week one win 31-0 over west la so a couple of defenses come in playing very very well early in this 2021 campaign and it's a quick three and out for the pirate defense and that'll bring on the punting unit terrell vaughn waits back at his own 36-yard line for the kick good kick vaughn going to signal for a fair catch and make it at the 39 that is a punt of 37 yards with no return and good field position for the pirates for their first possession here in the first quarter donovan warren on the punt and give him 37 yards and here comes the pirate offense in the home black jerseys will lead the pirate offense he didn't get the start last week vince valea got the start but peshaw will be the starter moving forward quick swing pass looking for chuck wick on the far side with some running room out near midfield it's going to be near first down yardage it'll come down to the spot and that was julian kelly actually coming out of the backfield kelly among a cadre of backs that will see action you can expect to see derrick west along with chuck wick we would expect james miles and this is kelly on the carry trying to string this one out on the left side and he is swarmed under for a loss on the play sean moskowitz the sophomore linebacker among the first to get there so a loss of a couple it was mosquitz with a little of two and it's second down and 12 for the pirates they'll send the man in motion four-man rush good pocket for pasho guns it over the middle complete big play for the pirates this is gonna be a pirate touchdown brady sturdivan we're gonna show you the replay here and this all starts with great protection up front and then sturdivan able to get to the inside and then beyond his defender nobody home in sturdivant goes 52 yards for a pirate touchdown with 13-11 remaining in the opening quarter and the pirates who won big at moore park they're off to a fast start here at home in their 20-21 home opener arroyo's extra point is up and good the pirates draw first blood they lead at seven nothing early going here first quarter from the vc sportsplex it's pirate football on socalcowiesports.com [Music] when you're ready just count me in kickoff underway taken on the far side at the 15-yard line and a short return that was jordan young who was actually an up back on that return check that mates get that right it was michael harkins moving up to take that at the 15 but a short return they'll spot it at the 21. so a return of just six yards and san diego mesa will start there with their second possession they trail at seven to nothing after the touchdown pass pasho to sturdivan gave the pirates the early lead receivers left and right on first and ten for gunner gray you can expect to see gunner gray along with quincy welch both seeing time at quarterback here tonight for san diego mesa interesting in our discussion with gary watkins this week talked about both gray and welch being principal contributors at the quarterback position but not a whole lot of difference between them a lot of similarities strong armed quarterbacks who work primarily from the pocket good enough athletes to buy themselves some time but they'll do the damage throwing the football for the most part meanwhile whistles on the snap and this will back up san diego mesa five yards and it'll be first and 15. so the fall start penalty first flag of the game and it'll be first in 15 as gray will look for the play he's flanked by josh butler who will be the lead tailback but again as is the case with many teams that we see here uh there'll be a series of running backs before it's all said and done under pressure gray buying himself some time directing traffic downfield now just has to tuck it under he'll head out of bounds after a pickup of perhaps a yard that'll bring up second down and 14. good pressure from the pirates up front jonah rubidoux bringing the pressure and gray flushed and finally just had to tuck it under so the one-yard gain makes it second down and 14. just to finish the point butler did have a tough week last week in the opener for san diego mesa deep pass a lot of contact and here comes the flag no question about it on the far side looking for anthony gilpin and if we get the replay here and we'll show to you that from another angle there that's a great job and you can see this one here and there is no question about the penalty so that will erase the second and 14 and give san diego mesa a first down just to finish the point on butler well san diego mesa as a team ran the ball well last week butler did have a struggle rushing 11 times for eight yards and it doesn't figure to get a whole lot easier here against a pirate defense that comes in playing very well first and ten after the penalty pistol formation blitz coming they give to butler through a little hole twisting his way forward met by callaway at the 35. and callaway on the stop it'll bring up a second down and seven it's kale patterson who has checked into the game and again the pirates crowd the line they'll show blitz gray taking his time another pirate blitz coming the throw near side to sullivan is complete but he is hit and dropped immediately after a gain of four markel yeast with the stop but sullivan picks up four yards and it brings up a third down and one actually with the spot they'll give sullivan six yards so third and one for san diego mesa last week mesa did have some struggles on third down they face a third and one here 11 22 and counting remaining we're just underway in the first quarter they'll keep it on the ground inside handoff falling forward patterson able to get the first down he picks up a couple of yards on the third and one to move the chains that's a big first down for san diego mesa watching the pirates strike quickly on their first possession if you're the olympians you'd love to take a little time off the clock get some momentum back any kind of a drive to help turn things around here in the early going quick bubble screen to sullivan he is brought down after a modest gain maybe a yard again matched up with yeast on that near side and yeast again up to the challenge brings them down after a short game second down and nine sullivan leads a solid troop of wide receivers for san diego mesa he had a couple of touchdowns in the victory over west la last week seeing the pirates pretty pretty tight on the line with a number of players they continue to really challenge this olympian offense early quick throw over the middle and it is caught in pirate territory near first down yardage deshawn owens with the reception kale jackson a returner from 2018 back with the pirates this season makes the stop but owens catch good enough for a first down fresh set of downs for the olympians couple of first downs on this drive that started back at their own 21. and gray starting to settle in has the snap another quick throw working the near side sullivan against yeast and it's another catch for sullivan a gain of six to the 40 brings up a second down and four we've seen four short throws to sullivan early and you wonder when we might see a shot down field they seem to have it pretty well set up and will they perhaps try some kind of double move with sullivan as yeast is now up very tight in coverage as they line up here on a second and four so gray looks over the defense has the snap now has some trouble with it back behind him he's just got to fall on it back in olympian territory at the 47. that is a loss of 13. what a huge gaffe for san diego mesa they were on the move with a second and four they had it in pirate territory but this one just squirts through the hands of gunner gray and it's a loss of 13. and that makes it third down and 16 to go and if you're the pirates defensively just when you're back on your heels maybe just a bit you get a play like that and all of a sudden it's third and forever now you got a chance to get off the field quick snap to gray good protection fires over the middle catch is made back in pirate territory at the 39 that's about three yards shy of a first down as it's noah arraggio with the reception and now a late flag comes in and i'm trying to get a number it looked to me like it might have been ralph navarro we got the replay for you here and something clearly very upsetting again i want to see if i have the number right it looks like it's ralph navarro and he was hot about something and he slammed the football down and that's what brings the penalty so they're gonna tack on some yardage at the end of the play it looks like it's just five yards that they're going to tack on and that is incredibly frustrating if you're a pirate fan as they had them stopped arago's catch was still about three yards shy of first down yardage but i don't know what it was that got navarro so upset but he clearly had a visceral reaction after the play that brings the flag and it continues the drive first down carry kale patterson continues in the backfield and james to yumi with the stop but not before patterson picks up eight yards that's probably the best carry of the game so far for san diego mesa and perhaps reflective of the confidence that they pick up after picking up the third down thanks to the completion and then the penalty this drive continues back to patterson on a counter that is wrapped up in the backfield that's a loss of a yard anthony martinez sliding over to make the stop that was well diagnosed by the pirate defense up front as the olympians tried a little misdirection with a counter and that was going nowhere a loss of a yard second down and 11 upcoming for san diego mesa this drive started back at their own 21-yard line trying to answer back after the early pirate touchdown now it's 6 56 and counting remaining here in the first quarter receivers left and right for gunner gray they sent jackson in motion play action looking left in the past incomplete not sure that gray and his target timmy jackson was the intended target it looked like gray was expecting him to break that route off a little bit sooner good pressure from the pirates up front and now it's third and 11 for san diego mesa patterson will return in the backfield replacing butler well the olympians already faced a third and 16. earlier in this drive now it's a third and 11 as they'll overload the far side working it from right to left here in the first quarter gray pop flies looking into the end zone of the pass incomplete just off the fingertips of timmy and jackson and that'll bring up fourth down and we'll likely see a field goal attempt for dominic camacho this would be 43 yards there is a lot of wind down on the field and it's a crosswind well i might have lost it down there i thought that was third down but apparently from the 26 san diego mesa was facing a fourth down and elected to take a shot trying to get the first down rather than kick the field goal as i say very windy condition so not an easy kick for camacho first down handoff bouncing off tackles it's a big gain for kelly out near midfield well it's a talented group of backs here but when i talk to steve meuchegan as kelly gets all the way to the 45 that's a rumble of 29 yards he spoke in glowing terms about julian kelly and said hey this may be the most talented back we've got and you can see right there the kind of play-making ability that kelly had that's a play that was stuffed after about four or five yards and kelly broke a couple of tackles and then found his way clear turned it into a big gain they try the double move in the pass incomplete they were looking for kevin tate on the near side the pass incomplete and it's a second down intent it was andrew trevillian who had the coverage on tate and it was good coverage second down and ten pirates send a man in motion high snap but the kelly kelly gets the handoff i should say and he is wrapped up after a gain of about a yard well chuck wick had been the starter going all the way back to 2019 and right into last week as blazito gets to stop on kelly bringing up a third down and nine but it's kelly here today and i know that uh wick was forced to miss some time in a coveted protocol and which is just a part and parcel goes with the territory here in 2021 and so he is working his way back though wick had a very good game in the opener against moore park a week ago pacho in trouble throws on the run in the pass incomplete he was looking for terrell vaughn and the pirate drive stalls after the big kelly run at the mesa 44 yard line it's fourth down and nine and we'll expect to see garth white and the pirate punting unit 5 16 remaining here in the first quarter with ventura leading san diego mesa 7-0 so garth white waits at his own 41-yard line and he'll look to pin san diego mesa back deep high snap but white does a good job getting down with it short kick and this will roll dead at the 22. that's a pun of just 22 yards maybe even only 21 as it looks like they're going to spawn at the 23. that's a missed opportunity for ventura college punting from the mesa 44. you're certainly hoping in that situation if you're a pirate fan that you can pin them deep and instead mesa gets a bit of a break here they'll come out of it with decent field position at their own 23. third possession upcoming for san diego mesa with ventura leading at seven to nothing quincy welch will come on at quarterback for san diego mesa and this will be his first series at the helm after we saw gunner gray for the first couple of possessions and gray was pretty good in that last possession which ultimately stalled out as they turned it over on downs in pirate territory butler on the carry and another good push up front eight yards for butler that matches his total from a week ago on one carry and that's got to be a welcome sight if you're josh butler finally found a little running room and now it's second and two for the olympians and a lot of possibilities here quick snap to welch they'll keep it on the ground and butler spins away from the first tackle but not away from the second he'll get a yard and that'll bring up third down in a short one now a late flag comes in again what's the call gonna be here we already saw the pirates hurt themselves with a third down penalty earlier in this first quarter it came from the near side in the pirate secondary and this is where you might expect to see some kind of personal foul call something after the whistle as they say it came in late and that is last week's defensive player of the week for the pirates drew carter who draws the personal foul after the whistle and he can only assume that the pirates may be a little keyed up for the home opener and talk about a home opener this isn't your usual home opener this is the home opener after a full year off but you can't hurt yourself with penalties and the personal foul there takes it out to the 47 yard line and gives san diego mesa a first down welch throws over the middle and that is incomplete off the hands of his intended target and it was antoine sullivan working over the middle and got his mitts on it but couldn't come down with it and a second down and ten upcoming sullivan a week ago three catches for 89 yards but as i mentioned earlier two of those went for touchdowns so he is a big play threat for san diego mesa as they face the second and 10 from their own 47-yard line looking right and the pass incomplete and quarterback and receiver not on the same page working on that far side trying to get a number looked like anthony gilpin and gilpin broke off that route early meanwhile welch lobbed it deep so miscommunication and no chance and now it's third down and ten for mesa at their own 47. 403 remaining in the first quarter blitz coming welch trying to step up and he sacked joe hernandez off the edge and we're gonna give you a look last week the pirates had a couple of sacks in the 62-5 win over moore park but anytime you shut down an opposing offense like that it speaks to getting consistent pressure and welch on third long didn't have a lot of time and hernandez able to get there and get the sack that'll bring on donovan warren and another good kick from warren fielded on one hop inside the 10 by vaughan born a little move he's in open field at the 35-40 45-50 down to the 40 35-30 this is gonna be a pirate touchdown [Music] well if you remember back to 2019 terrell vaughn we were mentioning him about every 30 seconds on our broadcast because he was just that much of a playmaker in this pirate offense as he had a huge season leading the team in receptions and yards double digit touchdowns well now let's throw in special teams to what terrell vaughn does for this team as they put him back to return punts and he electrifies this crowd with a 91-yard return the pirates strike on special teams they now lead at 14-0 late in the first quarter you're watching pirate football on socalcowitzsports.com nice kickoff for san diego timmy and jackson cameron brown back to receive the kick big plays the order of the day for the pirates here in their home opener against san diego mesa big touchdown pass from pacho to brady sturdivant and moments ago a 91-yard punt return for a touchdown by terrell vaughn here's the approach and the kick away it's brown from the 12. out to the 20 25 30. stiff arms a man at the 35 and heads out of bounds out past the 40 at the 41. good return for cameron brown 29 yards and good field position for san diego mesa and if you're the olympians you need an answer here as the pirates have struck on offense and on special teams and they've moved out to a 14-0 lead quincy welch back at quarterback they'll overload the far side on first down and it's been a strong effort all the way around for the pirates as they have blank san diego mesa in this first quarter so good job defensively and we've seen what they've done offensively and on special teams in fact about the fear the pirates about the only thing you could maybe look at in this first quarter is a couple of ill-advised penalties perhaps but otherwise they've been pretty dominating keep it on the ground butler trying to gain the edge now cuts it back lowers the shoulder he's out to the 45. it's a good effort by butler donye dixon moving up for the stop after a gain of four second down and six upcoming for the olympians and if you're the olympians got to be a little bit shell shocked in this first quarter if you look at it play-by-play they've really held their own as i said moments ago the order of the day is the two enormous plays one on offense one on special teams and that's the difference perhaps the biggest drive of the game came for san diego mesa on their second drive which eventually stalled deep in pirate territory but they've had some chances but the scoring has belonged to the pirates pass intended for jackson is overthrown and incomplete and now a big third and six for san diego mesa i referenced the third downs a week ago and actually san diego mesa was pretty solid on third down a week ago nine of 17 and they face a big one here a third and six and they need to keep the football and not only do they need to keep the football they need to get some points on the board i know it's early but you're already down 14 nothing and you don't want to give the ball back to the pirates give them a chance to extend on that late welsh has the snap four-man rush pocket collapsing throws and it's picked off pirate defense generates a turnover don yeah dickson with the pick and we'll get the replay here and you can see dixon really just sitting down in coverage this is a great job by dixon as it really looks like he just baits this throw keep an eye on dixon around midfield if we're gonna run this one here and he's got his eyes in the backfield he's watching welch and steps in front good hands dixon with the interception and it's pirate football at their own 49 an opportunity to really break this one open early if they could find pay dirt here pacho stepping up has time double pumps squeezes it in for the completion into mesa territory tate with the reception at the 37 yard line brought down by anthony had not but not before tate has enough for the first down the pirates quickly on the move 14-nothing lead they're looking for more they try the counter and good running room chuck wick with his first carry and he gets to the second level he's very near the first down marker but it looks like he's a little shy about a nine and a half yard gain and it's second and short now for the pirates from the mesa 27. they'll go right back to wick over his left guard and he falls forward to the 25 that is good enough for a first down so a couple of carries for chuck wick and the pirates move the chains ezra christensen with the stop pirates with a fresh set of downs now picho will take a little time we're under a minute to go in the first quarter of the pirates looking for more as they already lead at 14 nothing wick little stutter step now he drags the pile for a gain of about four blaze zeto with the stop zedo had the lineman's dream last week in the 31 nothing win a fumble recovery for a touchdown in the 31-nothing victory over west la gets to stop here on wick and a second down and six for the pirates who are going to run another play before the end of this first quarter 19 seconds and counting has the snap blitz coming for mesa good protection man open touchdown pirates terrell drags the foot gets it down and how about pasho devon and i gotta tell you just watching the tail end of that play that screams double move by terrell vaughn because he was about five yards clear they'll get the extra point beretti but let's take one more look here and watch this one again at vaughan from the bottom of your screen as pasho has great protection against the blitz and you can see the defender goes down there and that helps vaughn work his way clear but pachow drops it in perfectly the extra point is up and good still four seconds remaining in the first quarter as terrell vaughn has a touchdown return and a touchdown reception here in this first quarter and how about quarterback jordan paschall he has been outstanding as we said last week vince valea got the start as pasho came off the bench but when i talked about the quarterback position with steve mcshagan he said that jordan pachow is the guy who will handle the starting duties this season and in his words it's hey expect big things and he's another in a long line of great quarterbacks that have come through this pirate system so he is a talented young quarterback and he comes into a great system here that has been so successful for so many years grooming quarterbacks to continue their careers and pasho certainly has shown more than flashes of brilliance here in this first quarter with a couple of touchdown passes all pirates early they lead at 21-0 to kick away taken at the five it's jackson up the near side at the 25 where he is met and dropped and that will close out the first quarter through one ventura college with a 21-0 lead over san diego mesa you are watching ventura college football on the vc sports network start of the second quarter and san diego mesa will have it at their own 25 first and ten gunner gray back on at quarterback for the olympians who trail this one big tough assignment here against the number three ranked pirates in the state of california and butler with the first down carry gets to the 29 for a gain of four and i should correct that now that was the final play of the first quarter a little trouble with the clock here the vc sports flex and butler's carry brings the first quarter to a close second and six step aside briefly rejoin you for the second quarter 21-nothing pirates on the vc sports network twenty one nothing the pirates getting it done in all phases both teams with impressive wins in week one but it's the pirates who have carried it over here into week two at least early on jumping on the olympians early gray at the controls i like gunner gray's composure at the line as the pirates kind of shift around and he calmly just sets the scene that one tipped and caught by sullivan very nearly intercepted what a great concentration by antoine sullivan working over there against tuimi and tuimi jumped that route watch this here and you'll see on the replay and he had that one well diagnosed and he got his hands on it and that ball in the air but then sullivan able to snatch it and in so doing pick up first down yardage what a great job by antoine sullivan first down in 10 from the 32 and that was near disaster for san diego mesa first down kerry it's butler out to the 40 a gain of three stand back with the stop from his defensive end spot after butler picks up three yards at second down and seven couple of changes for san diego mesa as jackson returns they'll send three to the far side and leave antoine sullivan solo to the near side for this second and seven play and now gray wants a timeout here come the flags and you wonder if perhaps this was delay of game interesting they don't have the play clock here on the field anywhere that i can see so that is a tough assignment for the quarterbacks in this one and it's a false start penalty not delay of game but i think for gunner gray quincy wells jordan poche and the quarterbacks you don't have the luxury of picking out that play clock and maybe knowing where you are on that as i'm scanning the field and it looks like they don't have it here nonetheless the fault start penalty backs them up five yards and second and seven becomes second and twelve owens in motion blitz coming good protection looking deep and it's incomplete off the hands of jackson well in the words of my buddy and long time broadcast partner mike zepeda wow because jackson was behind the defense and this one was dropped in nicely by gray let's watch the replay here jackson gets himself free and yeah it's not always the easiest catch over the shoulder as you're jackson you're kind of looking back and trying to come up with that football but i can pretty well bet that jackson will tell you right now that he'd love to have another chance at that football that was off both hands and potentially a huge play for san diego mesa instead it's an incompletion in third and 12 now gray pop flies the near side he wants sullivan sullivan comes down with the football and it's a catch what a job by antoine sullivan working against daniel dixon and i've got sullivan with four receptions here in this first half and that was a big one into pirate territory at the 38 and now mesa wants to move quickly quick screen to sullivan looking for a block and he weaves his way forward for a gain of about seven yards they're gonna spot it at the 31 where it'll be second down in three so sullivan racking up the receptions this is a pretty nice job after the catch to read his blocks and that play initially looked like there wasn't much happening there but sullivan able to gain positive yardage they'll spot it at the 32 where it'll be second down and four and now there's a little discussion after the play i didn't see a flag but let's see what the call is our referee today is jay drury well initially san diego mesa wanted to move very quickly and this is a flag okay it's a penalty against ventura it's an illegal substitution so they're going to erase the play and take the penalty so this should be first and five after the five yard penalty three wide receivers out to the left gray has san diego mesa on the move at the pirate 33. that's the snap patterson with a little move in the backfield and now lowers the shoulder good hard running down to the 29-yard line stand back again on the stop but that's a gain of four yards and a second down and one and now again the olympians want to move quickly owens not sure where to go now they'll send him back to the far side as san diego mesa in the road whites working it from left to right here in the second quarter 12-12 and counting remaining here in the first half ventura with the 21-0 gray continues to take his time pirates showing blitz here they come gray looking left throwing left and the pass is high and incomplete off the hands of his intended target to sean owens that brings up a third down and one from the ventura 29 yard line that is a dangerous throw from gunner gray and you can see yeast working on that far side now against owens and yeast was hawking that ball he was thinking about making a play for that ball didn't quite get there in time the pass was a little high and maybe it was a little lucky that it was because yeast is very tight in coverage on that defensive right side third and one patterson on the inside carry and he is brought down short of the line fourth down and a long one for mason you gotta believe they're gonna go for it here adrian sirocco with the stop as patterson was throwing for a loss of about a yard well we've already seen mesa go for it on fourth and about 11 in the first quarter so no question they're gonna go for it here on fourth and a very short two last week mesa was one for one on fourth down in the victory over west l.a and gray brings the offense to the line what do you do here it's been hard sledding running the football so far play action a designed roll gray looking downfield able to evade one tackler but the pass incomplete looking for owens standback brought the pressure and gray ran out of time finally had to throw back against his body looking for owens who was well covered and for the second time today the pirates able to turn away san diego mesa on downs and get the football back so they'll take over at their own 30-yard line leading at 21 to nothing well the pirate defense has bent maybe a little but they have not broken and they lead it 21-nothing pesho and the pirate offense on 10-12 remaining here in the first half they keep it on the ground on first down on the left side and a good push by that pirate offensive line alex tilly with his first carry the sophomore out of oxnard a nine yard run brings up second down and one and what a luxury it is offensively when you can put yourself consistently in second and short situations and that's where the pirates are right now after the nine yard run by tilly second down and one play action short throw incomplete levante boyd the intended target and pashu with a little too much heat on that one off the hands of boyd and incomplete and a third down and one for the pirates who want to move quickly and now whistles come in a flag on the far side and it's a false start so the pirates trying to move quickly and get that play off on a third and short but instead they back themselves up five yards and it becomes third and six you would think with 62 points on the board that it was a foregone conclusion that the pirates would be great on third down in the victory over moore park last week but not so actually only two of ten on third down and the pirates season after season among the leaders in third down conversions part and parcel of having such a strong offense every year but it's been a struggle early on tipped at the line and intercepted chris alba with the pick san diego mesa forces a turnover of their own and a chance to start to scratch their way back into this one they'll take over the pirate 29 and this starts with good penetration up front and a batted ball and alba in the right spot comes down with it big play for the olympians and now a short field and a chance to maybe get themselves on the board and start trying to claw their way back last week the pirates had just one turnover in the win at moorpark forcing four turnovers themselves and this their first one here today each team now with a turnover in this first half and an opportunity for the olympians first down up the middle for a pickup of about a yard josh butler on the carry stand back starting to dominate this game defensively another stop as he brings down butler after a gain of a yard second down and nine gray has the snap good protection throws over the middle catch made by owens down near the goal line reaches out touchdown mesa well we talk about it with the pirates and we'll talk about it here it's good protection up front as the pirates try to dial up the blitz owens on the crossing route working one-on-one good pass good catch and owens with a little reach at the goal line for the touchdown and moments ago the pirates had a fourth down stop they had the football they had second and short they were leading 21 nothing and things were looking good and an interception on third down and mesa turns it around takes it in on the short field gray to owens and now we got a game 21-6 extra point is pending as the turnover leads to a touchdown for the olympians camacho was an interesting story last week in our talk with gary watkins as there's another flag against ventura they'll assess that on the kickoff was another illegal substitution we've seen that call a couple times here in the first half but camacho one of three on field goals last week in the victory over west l.a when we talked about gary watkins he made the point that one of the misses was from 52 yards and they brought camacho out there to try that kick and he said he missed it by maybe a yard or two but he thought that was actually his best kick of the day and so he said you can't really go by the numbers uh we're really happy with dominic camacho and what he's doing right now and we feel very confident that in the right situation he's got the leg to potentially hit from really long range so as always you can't tell the story just off the stats he puts the extra point through 21-7 mesa answers back pirates with the lead you're watching ventura college football on the vc sports network julian kelly gavin brasker back deep for the pirates and they kick away this one five yards deep and kelly's going to bring it out out to the 10. tries to slip a tackle but he's brought down at the 13. so poor field position for the pirates to start this drive 907 remaining here in the first half and a 21-7 lead for ventura college see how the pirates respond some trouble on their last drive with the turnover and they'll start from the 13 and they keep it on the ground ahead to the 18 five yard run for kelly and a second down and five upcoming for the pirates blazito with the stop now they'll move kelly to the left of pasho three wide receivers to the near side the pirates working from right to left straight ahead with kelly again and he is met by a trio of mesa tacklers a gain of about four alba on the stop and a big third and one coming up for ventura 22 yard line and the pirates want to move quickly the show has the snap first down yardage for the pirates kelly three straight times out to the 25 and he moves the chains well right away the pirates start to set steady themselves offensively as they pick up a first down the show fakes throws over the middle complete finding vaughn another big play for the pirates vaughn's still on his feet at midfield finally stood up and he absorbs a big hit but holds on to the football able to get to the mesa 48-yard line that is a gain of 27 yards for terrell vaughn you know sometimes for the complexity of the pirate offense it's so simple when you need a big play man just look for terrell vaughn and they find him working over the middle 27 yards and the pirates are on the move first down carry running room for kelly down to the 41 it's an 8-yard run call it seven for kelly and a second down and three upcoming for ventura and the pirates quickly back to the line clock continues to move three-man rush pacho good coverage steps up now loses his footing and he's taken down that was blaze zedo and we'll watch the replay here and this is great coverage in that mesa secondary and pasho initially had good protection and started to lose his feet as zeto closed in and then you see zito able to reach out and trip him up get the sack meanwhile they are going to mark off a penalty so perhaps the sack for zito going to come off the board and instead mesa going to accept the penalty [Music] yeah they're going to mark that from the original line of scrimmage i would have thought after the play that might have been marked from the end of the play but after the seven yard run by kelly they had it at the 41 and then the 15 yard penalty would move it back to the 44 and that's where it is now and now hold everything as we're watching online yes okay so they had initially marked it off from the previous spot but it should be marked off from the end of the play which means the news goes from bad to worse if you're the pirates as the sack by zeto will be counted and now it's third and as i total it up it's uh third and uh forever as the football rest back on the pirate 39 yard line third and 23 for the pirates so man what do they say what kills drives penalties sacks and in this case both and the pirates have themselves in some trouble as now it's third and 23. pacho stepping up now has to dump it short and it's incomplete so the pirates had it on the move for a moment but the mesa defense stands up gets a little help from a personal foul penalty and the pirate drive stalls and we'll see garth white in the punting unit michael harkins waits for the kick back at his own 20-yard line and with 6 37 remaining here in the first half mesa has steadied themselves in this one after they trailed 21-0 now it's 21-7 they're getting the football back good pressure but white gets it away a good kick harkins takes it at the 18. makes a little move and he's tripped up just shy of the 25. 43-yard punch 6-yard return and mesa will have the football at their own 24 trailing at 21-7 let's keep it here we'll see if we see gunner gray again or quincy welch so far gunner gray has been more than solid for the olympians here in this first half they've had a couple of solid drives couple of drives stalled with fourth down turnovers but then the touchdown drive on the last drive after the alba interception three wide receivers on first and ten for the olympians from their own 24. it's quincy welch back at quarterback play action has time guns it over the middle the pass a little short but coming back for it and another great catch sullivan with the reception we'll show you the replay all right that is gilpin actually and you see this play this ball is thrown a little short but it's gilpin able to read that football and come back and make the catch for gilpin his first reception working against cale jackson and for welch that's got to be a good feeling get some good protection and is able to connect with gilpin for a big gain and move it into pirate territory butler running left and he is dragged down at the line again stringing this play out and able to track down butler at the line that is some terrific speed for adrian sirocco out of bishop diego high school in santa barbara so another local product roughly for ventura no gain on the play and a second down and 10. 5 15 and counting remaining welsh pop flies the far side it's incomplete looking for gilbert again over on that far side so now it's third down and ten for san diego mesa after the big catch by gilpin no care uh no yardage on first down on the carry by butler and now the incompletion and it's third and long pirates show a four-man front welch under pressure gonna be wrapped up and sacked back at the 45 that's a great response by the pirate defense was that hernandez again looked like billy joseph actually coming off the edge from his outside linebacker spot and it looked like he was largely unblocked and so for welch the pocket quickly collapsed and he had no choice but to eat the football and the mesa drive stalls out in pirate territory at the pirate 44 as mesa will take their first charge timeout 4 27 to go in the first half 21-7 ventura you're watching pirate football on socalcollegesports.com fourth down for san diego mesa donovan warren on to punt third punt for warren who's had a couple of good kicks here in this first half though one of them went back the other way for a touchdown as vaughn took it 91 yards this one takes a good bounce for the pirates boy it landed down back at maybe about the 20-yard line and it ends up at the pirate 30. that is about as big a kick back toward the kicking team as you're going to see on a punt and this looks like the pirates aren't even going to get much of a spot i think that one ended up at the 31 and they're only going to give them the 30. nonetheless solid starting field position for the pirates early in this second quarter they let it 21-0 but san diego mesa has answered back with a touchdown and started to steady themselves somewhat defensively stopping the pirates on the last drive let's see what the pirates can do here running room on the far side wick has the first down out to the 42-yard line brought down by trujillo or t-max niyuma excuse me the safety moving up to finally make the stop so wick picks up 13 yards and immediately moves the chains and we saw a mesa defensive player kick the football we'll assume inadvertently but they did try to move it back but now whistles will come in the officials will spot it and now the pirates ready to go under four minutes to go here in the first half the show screens it out to vaughn picks up a block he's at the 45 out to the 50 forced out of bounds in mesa territory at the 46. bradley fai eventually able to force vaughn out of bounds but not before vaughn moves to chains that's a gain of 11 yards pirates in mesa territory another good push up front and with second effort it's wick getting to the 40-yard line that's a gain of six second down and four for the pirates kicking a strength for the pirates as well with alberto arroyo returning from the 2019 team the sophomore but there is a lot of wind down on the field meanwhile wick finds a little lane down to the 31 that's a nine yard run before he is brought down by nyuma so chuck wick starting to break off chunks of yardage another first down for the pirates to the 31 as we wind down two three minutes to go still plenty of time here in this first half back to wick off tackle on the left side flags come in as wick spins his way forward to the 29. but let's see if this is coming back this is in the area where you might expect to see a hold that looked like a good job on the left side of that offensive line but when you see that much running room like wick had sometimes there's a reason and there's the holding call that'll back it up to the 42 where it will be second down excuse me first down and 21 for the pirates and now whistles before the snap the pirates starting to back themselves up well you go you go back to the last drive for the pirates and they were moving picking up a couple of first downs moving it into mesa territory but then a sack by zeto and a penalty on the play and that was enough to stall the drive for the pirates this starting to feel similar couple of penalties here on the left side kelly with the carry good running room again as he gets back to the 38-yard line before he's forced out of bounds but another flag is down in the pirate backfield and you have the decided feeling that the pirates are backing themselves up some more and indeed three penalties in a row for the pirates a hold a false start and now another hold on and they are back to their own 43-yard line well the good news is it's still first down the bad news is it's first in 36. i wonder what the record is for the longest first hand or third end first in 36 play action short pass tipped but caught he wanted to go back to vaughn and he makes the reception out to the 46. that's a gain of three yards simile able to wrap up vaughn after the three yard pickup second down and 33 for ventura meanwhile the clock moving 133 and counting blitz coming quick throw catch is made going back to levante boyd oh no it's brady's turtleman okay sturdy man with the catch sturdivan had the touchdown in the early going a 52-yard hookup for the pirates first touchdown that's his second reception here in the first half the gain of six makes it third down and 27 and it appears right now as though the pirates might be satisfied to just try and run out this clock and not leave any time for mesa to get anything going a couple of short throws here after they set themselves back with a series of penalties third down pasho now looking deep ones opens got it in for the touchdown well what do i know a couple of short throws and it looked like maybe the pirates just wanted to run a little time and then they let vaughn loose gets behind the secondary again three touchdowns in the first half for terrell vaughn three touchdown passes in the first half for pashu [Music] and how about that answer for the pirates arroyo on for the extra point low snap but they get it down kick is up and good under a minute to go here in the first half ventura back out in front by 21 leading at 28 7. as you watch the work of terrell vaughn it's pirate football here on socalcollegesports.com and the vc sports network 44 seconds remaining here in the first half after pasho connects with terrell vaughn again giving the pirates a 28-7 lead jackson cameron brown back to receive the kick from arroyo might be a year off for the pirates but they very much picking up right where they left off this is pirate football as jackson is cut down at the 16-yard line the return of 16 yards and now mesa with about 40 seconds and a decision for gary watkins they do have two timeouts but it's a long field and will they elect to try and make something happen here or will they be content to head for the locker room and start again here in the second half the pirates did win the toss and deferred so ventura will have the football to start the second half be interested to look at the stats in the first half because i suspect that they might tell a story of a reasonably close game in terms of a number of statistical categories it has been big plays that the pirates have been able to get here in this first half that has really been the difference and told the story butler pinballs his way forward to the 21 bouncing off tacklers and eventually brought down after a five yard gain markel yeast with the stop mesa going to be content to let the clock run down to 20 seconds let's see if they even choose to run another play they don't have to gary watkins will make the decision down to 10 seconds gonna take a shot at one more play gray steps up looking deep sullivan the intended target double coverage no chance on that one yeast in the area along with deshaun howe still two seconds remaining and a third and five for mesa so they could take one more shot here see if they can make something happen 21. butler with the carry on the final play of this first half and again he is finally forced out of bounds after a gain of about three and that'll bring the first half to a close ventura heads to the locker room with a 28-7 lead over san diego mesa it's ventura college football on the vc sports network the pirates will have the ball first to start the third quarter leading at 28 to seven happy you've joined us on the vc sports network a rare four o'clock start for pirate football against the san diego mesa college olympians and the pirates trying to move it to 2-0 after the impressive victory a week ago at moorpark here in their home opener the approach and the kick away and this one angled toward the near side and out for a touchback nice job on the kickoff no chance for a pirate return in the spirit of full disclosure we did have some internet problems here at the vc sportsplex that naturally affected our broadcast and our ability to get it going but managed to do so and happy to be back here and have you join us on the vc sports network but it also did affect some of the statistics here in the first half and we don't have uh the stats for you from the first half just yet we do hope to have them at some point in the second half as they also uh play a little bit of catch-up as always technical issues will crop up it just happens first carry of the second half and it's kelly ahead for a gain of three kelly handle the majority of the running work here in the first half chuck wick with several carries at well as well it's been the two of them almost exclusively we did see a little bit of alex tilly but kelly stepping into a more prominent role he had eight carries a week ago as well tries running left and he is hit and dropped in the backfield the loss on the play that was jonathan vega shooting the gap and getting into the backfield and that play blown up to the tune of a loss of three yards and now it's third and ten for the pirates here on the first possession mesa showing blitz as pasho who had a big first half with three touchdowns will get the play first minute of the second half three-man rush pasho steps up tries to dump it short and it's incomplete quick three and out for the pirates looked like vaughn was the intended target but he was well covered and the pirates go nowhere on their first possession and if you're san diego mesa and you're hoping to try and get your way back into this one that's a good start in the second half good stand by that mesa defense that pitch just shut out a week ago in the win over west l.a the pirates have dropped 28 on the board in the first half and a lot of pressure this one partially blocked another big play on special teams but this time it's san diego mesa getting good penetration on the punt from garth white chris alba again it was elba who had an interception in the first half and he got in there to get a hand on it that one taken out of the air and a short return will set up mesa at the 27 yard line well big plays continue to be the story here in this week two match-up between san diego mesa and ventura college well now the olympians with a chance on a short field to get themselves back within 14 potentially gunner gray back at the controls owens in motion on first and ten play action pump fake now pop flies to the near side looking for owens and there's the flag well i'll tell you that's unfortunate if you're the pirate says that ball was angling out of bounds i don't think owens could make the catch and that's where you start to hear some calls from the crowd that that was uncatchable and i got to tell you that's not too far off base number one it was donye dixon who had the coverage and i'm gonna give you have a look there at a couple of the replays and emery's gonna show it to us one more time here and you know dixon just gets there a little bit late and this is such a tough play if you're dixon but you see the tail end there's no question but that there is contact there from dixie just doesn't get his head around really ends up more or less just shoving owens out of bounds now it's questionable as to whether or not owens could have come down with that ball in bounds it looked to me like he couldn't but that's not gonna be enough to get the call instead it's a 15-yard penalty and a first down circling to the near side it was butler on the carry a one-yard run for butler so a second and nine as noah arraggio will return for san diego mesa they have it at the ventura 12 yard line second down and nine early third quarter in mesa trying to get back within 14 once again they had it at 21-7 but the pirates able to get the late touchdown in that first half as vaughn got behind the defense again for touchdown catch number two and that looms large right now as mesa threatens here with a chance to get that touchdown back and just think if they don't get that big play on third and long might be talking about a one-score game gray looking left now goes back to his right and has a man in the end zone for a touchdown antoine sullivan with the reception that's touchdown catch number three for sullivan on the season and this is a great job by gray as we're gonna watch the replay here but it's a great job by gray looking left and then going back to his right and that really frees up sullivan who had himself in some space on that right side second touchdown pass as gray finds sullivan this time camacho with the extra point up and good san diego mesa gets the quick three and out after the block punt they take advantage of the short field gray to sullivan 28-14 ventura college football here on the vc sports network it's atkins and braxton back deep for the pirates who will need to come up with an answer here after mesa turns them away on defense and then gets the touchdown to get back within 14. atkins able to slip out of a tackle and get out to the 35 that's a good return by atkins and it sets up the pirates with good field position telbo with the tackle on the return but not before atkins gets a return of 33 yards and sets the pirates up at the 35 still early in the third well the pirates have been able to answer when they've needed to in this one and mesa able to grab a bit of momentum with the big play on special teams and then the touchdown and now the pirates need to make something happen read option off tackle on the right side for wick and a gain of a couple chuck wick out to the 37. bradley fine moving up from his safety spot for the stop second and eight as the pirates come back to the line quickly three wide receivers split out to the left ventura and the home black jerseys working it from left to right here in the third quarter quick throw on the right side finds makaluso sebastian maccaluso with his first reception of the game gets out to the 41 a gain of four and a big third down for the pirates coming up here a third and four they had a three and out on their first possession they absolutely do not need another three and out here which would give mesa a chance to build on this momentum if they could get off the field with another three and out quick snap wick through a good hole on the left side bounces off a tackle falls forward a gain of six on third and fourth that's a gutsy call and great execution on third and four that is a lot of faith in your running game to go to wick it's so tempting in that situation to put the ball up but a lot of faith in that offensive line of chuck wick and they pick up a big first down quick bubble screen on first down a gain of about five john carroll eventually with the stop on vaughn but not before he gained five yards a second and five for the pirates now in mesa territory at the mesa 49 pacho good pockets screens it out finds wick wick bounces off a tackle has the first down down to the 43-yard line call it the 42. meanwhile we have a player down but he's up quickly for mesa so he will jog off the field vega with the tackle on wick but the seven yard reception gives the pirates another first down at the mesa 42 a couple of first times on this critical drive for the pirates inside handoff wick leap frogs a tackler he's down to the 37. five-yard run for chuck wick brings up second down and five ezra christensen with the stop for mesa second down and five and now pisho will slow it down slightly wick remains in the game in the backfield again they go to wick on the read option and wick picks his way forward to the 40 a gain of a couple another big third down coming up a third and three for the pirates another big third down they went to wick last series on a third and four to pick up a first down let's see what they do here on third and three it is wick again trying to circle to his left but he's hit behind the line down for a loss of a couple that'll bring up fourth down carroll again getting back there quickly not much chance for wick t-max niyuma coming up from his safety spot as well that was well diagnosed by the san diego mesa defense it brings up a fourth down and five and the pirate offense is going to stay on the field last week the pirates on fourth down were five of six in the victory over moore park this is their first fourth down attempt here today and a false start before the snap fourth and five becomes fourth and tenth white who had his last punt blocked gets this one away fair catch signaled four in made at the 18-yard line short kick for white just 24 yards but mesa takes over with relatively poor field position back at their own 19-yard line is where they'll spot it so now the pirate defense needs to make a stand of their own 8 31 remaining in the third quarter and the olympians trying to make a game of it they were down 21-0 at one point down 28-7 to start the third quarter but it's 28-14 and they have the football looks like patterson in the backfield as gunner gray 6'4 freshman out of university city high school in san diego back on with the olympian offense owens in motion blitz coming and the pass on the near side incomplete looking for antoine sullivan pass incomplete sullivan continues to battle markel yeast and pirate secondary and sullivan had the touchdown reception earlier in this third quarter already his third on the young season speaking of touchdowns on the young season vaughn also with three receiving touchdowns on the season for the pirates jackson in motion inside handoff in a big hole for patterson into the pirates secondary out to the 42-yard line finally brought down by tuayimi but not before patterson rips off a run of 23 yards that's the biggest run of the day for san diego mesa and they want to move quickly they screen it out to jackson looking for some blocks out near midfield brought down by callaway but jackson able to pick up seven yards brings up a second down and three the olympians are brimming with confidence as they start to move the football again movement on that offensive line this will be a false start and it'll back him up five yards and make it second and eight well thus far in this one penalties have been a decidedly bigger problem for the pirates but that is a penalty at exactly the time that you don't want one if you're san diego mesa big run by patterson you got a second in short got the pirate defense back on their heels but now you give them a chance to reset second and three becomes second and eight that's a welcome sight if you're a pirate fan give your defense a chance to settle back in now we're ready to go on the second and eight four-man rush they set up the screen running room on the near side butler able to get to midfield went out of bounds at the pirate 49 just shy of a first down so it's third and one another massive third down in this matchup this time it's san diego mesa trying to keep the momentum trailing it 28-14 pistol formation gray with the snap running left side first down yardage and more for san diego mesa as butler even eventually breaks out of that group of pirate tacklers but the ball had been blown dead at the 44. it's a pickup of five yards and a san diego mesa first down but it shows you what a low josh butler is gets the call here and he is dragged down a gain of a yard sirocco again getting into the backfield what a great tackle on josh butler who just clearly demonstrated how difficult he is to bring down and it was soraka who wrapped him up by the legs and took him down after a gain of just a yard second down and nine for san diego mesa and again it's worth noting it's windy down on the field and i think it's yet another example of how well the quarterbacks have played on both sides both teams have thrown the ball well and it's a very windy day down on the field here at ventura jackson in motion blitz coming they try to screen it out and do patterson knocked out of bounds at the 36 yard line that's a gain of seven and it brings up another big third down this is a third and two that was well diagnosed by gunner gray who checked down and got it to patterson and patterson looked for a moment like he might have a lot of running room but he was knocked out of bounds after a gain of seven yards shy of the first down marker so third and two now for the olympians who will go to a double tight end set they'll overload the right side gray from the pistol patterson trying to bounce it outside take it out of the backfield again it's siracco again well a week ago it was linebacker drew carter who was the defensive player of the week for the pirates and i don't have a vote lord knows but i don't see how if you're talking about defensive player of the week right now it can't be adrian sirocco he has been outstanding another tackle for a loss there mesa gonna line up to go for it here on fourth down this is what would be a 54 yard field goal so something of a non-starter there and they'll go for it on fourth and three gilpin in motion gray looking right quick out off the hands of gilpin and incomplete the pirate defense makes a stand 4 38 remaining in the third quarter for the third time this game mesa turns it over on downs and the pirates will get it back at the 37-yard line well a couple of big plays but the pirate defense here today has been great if you think of backup to it san diego mesa a couple of touchdowns in this game but both on short fields off the interception by elba off the block punt both times they took over just inside the ventura 30-yard line and those are the two touchdowns but overall when the pirates have needed to they have been able to stand up and keep san diego mesa out of scoring position niuma on the stop after a nine yard run second down and one after kelly with a little help from the guys up front quick pitch and catch and a first down for the pirates that'll move the chains isaiah isaac with the reception that's his first catch of the game as pasho c uh continues to spread it around willie blanco finally on the stop after isaac made a couple of moves but couldn't find any running room quick screen they wanted to go back to isaac and that one off the mark by pashu second down and ten from the mesa 46-yard line alex tilly in the game in the backfield for the pirates play action pass complete to sturdivan who takes a big hit but holds on to the football down to the 39. on the stop it was quino makahili and he laid a big hit on sturdivan good job by sturdivan to secure that ball second and short and this one blown up early it's gonna be a loss on the play vaughn going to take a loss back to the 46. makahili back in the action again that was another good hit on vaughn but that play was just well diagnosed they tried a quick screen devon and mesa on it quickly a loss on the play of seven yards makes it third and ten should say fourth and ten that was third down so again the pirates get a couple of first downs but can go no further against this mesa defense that has had a very good third quarter forcing another punt white gets this one away short kick angled toward the far sideline this one takes a good pirate bounce and will roll dead at the 9-yard line that's a 33-yard punt for garth white [Music] and poor field position for san diego mesa with 231 remaining in the third quarter and the score 28-14 in favor of ventura you know the pirates just can't seem to shake this san diego mesa squad finding a way to hang around they've had a good third quarter able to keep the pirates out of the scoring column they've gotten themselves back to within 14 but they've got a long field here as they take over at the nine yard line gray at the controls quick throw on the far sideline complete to sullivan sullivan starting to pile up the catches unofficially i've got him with six that's a very unofficial number five yard gain on the sullivan reception brings up second down and five with the handoff left side and a gain of a couple of yards out to the 16 butler met by a group of pirate tacklers led by travis callaway another all-conference returner from the 2019 squad callaway had a fantastic season back in 2019 and he is back as a leader on this defensive unit that's off to a great start here in 2021 moore park with just five points in the victory in week one and this is a good performance as we alluded to early in the third quarter mesa with a couple of touchdowns but both off of short fields so this pirate defense has been very good again third down and they try on the near side looking for arraggio but the coverage was excellent that was hernandez that looked back dropping back from the defensive line and getting in that passing lane and that became a very difficult pass for gunner gray to try to drop it into harajuku no room for that football and now it's the pirate defense that forces a quick three and out and the pirates should get it back with very good field position late in the third quarter 28-14 the score donovan warren back in punt formation terrell vaughn who's already taken one to the house waits at his own 42-yard line warren angles this one out of bounds away from vaughan down goes an official and we'll wait and see it looks like he should be okay it was a non-contact and now they're going to take a quick look at him on the near side so we'll let them have a look hard to see what happens it was not a collision but one of the officials did go down on the near side so they will tend to him meanwhile the football went out at the ventura 45 yard line that's a kick of 39 yards with no return we'll step aside you're watching ventura college football on the vc sports network start of the fourth quarter the pirates with a 28-14 lead but they have the ball in the red zone second and two from the 17-yard line of san diego mesa the pirates will send three wide receivers to the near side they'll work it from right to left here in the fourth quarter kelly flanking pacho second and two and they go to kelly up the middle he is dragged down near the first down marker ezra christensen coming off the edge able to wrap him up after a gain of a yard third down and one for ventura another critical third down and what has turned out to be an entertaining ball game here between ventura college and san diego mesa still in doubt here early in the fourth 14-point game kelly finds a little hole down to the 13. the three-yard run on third and one will move the chains christiansen again on the stop so the pirates get a fresh set of downs they'll have it at the 13 first and ten kevin tate solo to the near side vaughn in the slot and looking for tate on the fade and it's incomplete flags are down on the play it's roughing the passer look like tate was working against owen ussini nope that was andrew trevillian andrew trevillian locked up with tate and the coverage was good but it doesn't matter as the roughing the passer call will give the pirates a first and goal from the six yard line of san diego mesa chuck wick on in the backfield and it's wick trying to circle outside thrown for a big loss ezra christensen continues to live in that pirate backfield they'll spot it at the 12 that's a loss of six for chuck wick and that's a big time play by that mesa defense as christensen able to get to wick for a big loss second in goal now from the 12. do all setbacks wick with the carry a little stutter step in the backfield second effort gets him to the eight-yard line a gain of four where it'll be third down and goal bradley fine christensen teaming up on the stop the pirates will now face a third and goal from the eight three wide receivers to the left four-man rush pasho good pocket steps up back in the end zone what a catch touchdown pirates that was gavin brasker on the reception gonna give you a couple of looks at this one and watch brasker get up for this that is unbelievable i'm gonna give you another look a couple of looks at this one certainly and for brasker that's his first reception of the day what a time and what a catch for pasho touchdown pass number four 12.55 remaining in the ball game ventura strikes back they lead it 35-14 it's ventura college football on the vc sports network uh sugar cameron brown brody schicker back deep for san diego mesa pirates with another big answer mesa creeps back a little closer but the pirates come up with another touchdown this time pacho finding brassker on a tremendous catch at the back of the end zone and the lead back out to 35-14 brown takes it to the 27 and that's where mesa will get it going 12-44 remaining in the ball game another full slate of games in the 3c2a this saturday most of them happening as we speak getting going as we speak again this was an earlier start 4 o'clock try to give you some early scores from some of those other games of course here at socal college sports uh we're out at antelope valley college as well here tonight so a couple of games for you on socalcollegesports.com thrilled that you've joined us here today from the vc sportsplex for the pirates home opener the return of pirate football here in 2021 we're thrilled to be back and the pirates have put on a show and they are getting a stern test from a very solid san diego mesa club who fell behind early but they have not gone away in this one whistles before the snap so the fall start penalty will back up san diego mesa it'll be first and fifteen pirates showing blitz now they'll drop off and the throw into double coverage looking for owens nearly picked off by james tui well that was almost trouble for gray as he tried to squeeze it in tuime was right there along with navarro the pirates had that one well covered it's second and fifteen as mesa dodges a bullet both teams only one turnover each in this one it's been a pretty clean game quick throw over the middle that one nearly picked off off the hands of sullivan navarro again they're on the coverage and navarro a linebacker but really excels you can see in coverage a lot of quickness and he was in on the last couple of plays and now it's third down and 15. and gray looking left heaves the far side and that one is nearly picked off he was looking for brody's shaker but he was well covered on that far side as that was excuse me dijon howe was on the coverage and he had schicker blanketed three and out for san diego mesa and they will have to punt it away with 12 33 remaining and the pirates starting to close in on this one they have had a hard time shaking this mesa ball club but it's a 21 point lead and they're getting the ball back time starting to click down down goes donovan warren a lot of contact this is going to draw a penalty and warren is slow to get up looks like he is favoring that left leg and that was a big-time collision we're gonna watch this one one more time and you know okay they're gonna pick up the flag which is donovan warren insult meat injury thankfully and you hope that that's not literal for donovan warren as he was able to get up and hobble and make his way off the field but that was a lot of contact but obviously the call there is that that was inadvertent uh perhaps the defender blocked into the kicker but they pick up the flag the football ends up at the ventura 43-yard line after the kick from warren so no penalty on the play the pirates will have the ball 12-22 remaining in the game santa barbara with a 23-21 win over west la san diego mesa's opponent last week the two-point win for santa barbara san mateo a winner again in the north 41-0 over college of the sequoias and san mateo a powerhouse in the ncfa coming off a championship game appearance in the last football championship in 2019 which we had the great pleasure of bringing you on socalcollegesports.com a riverside win but san mateo loaded again late flags come in on the run by wick and let's see what the call is here wick knocked out of bounds near midfield at about the 48-yard line after a five-yard run again our referee today jay drury and we will await the call so it's a personal foul call against san diego mesa going against bradley fie so wix five-yard run followed by the 15-yard penalty and the ball ends up at the mesa 38-yard line pirates looking to go a long way toward potentially salting this one away they can come up with a touchdown here wick off tackle on the right side stood up after a gain of a couple out to the 36. ryan sanford with the tackle on wick after a gain of a couple second down and eight for the pirates so they'll start to slow it down somewhat as always operating from the no huddle but now pisho will look to that far sideline in no particular hurry the clock moves at 11 32 and counting remaining in the ball game as the snap gives to kelly able to stiff-arm a man in the backfield in the end no gain on the play that was blown up early by the mesa defense vega eventually on the stop but the olympians able to get into the backfield and upset that play from the outset and kelly was in all kinds of trouble did a good job just to get back to the line third down and eight down to 11 minutes remaining in the game blitz coming deep drop to show with time over the middle broken up incomplete that was great coverage it looked to me like he was looking for ashton arnold and i can't tell if that was i believe it was quino machihelli and that was a great job working one-on-one against arnold fourth down for the pirates from the 36 they will line up to go for it snap to poche another blitz coming again good protection all kinds of running room for pasho at the 20 15 10 5 he'll take it in for a touchdown well the headline with pasho isn't necessarily what he could do with his feet but that was a terrific run that was great recognition as san diego mesa came with the blitz and pacho rolled away from pressure and then saw nothing but open field on that right side took it down the far sideline all the way for the touchdown so it's four touchdown passes and now a touchdown run for pasho extra point tacked on by arroyo 10 33 to go in the ball game and the pirates push it out to a 42-14 lead on the vc sports network brown and schicker wading deep 10 33 remaining in the game and the pirates with a couple of touchdowns have opened up their largest lead at 28 42-14 this is brown angling back to his left and brought down at the 21 a return of 21 yards and the olympians will go on offense let's see if it's gunner gray again or if we see a little bit more of quincy welsh we've seen both of them but it's been gray entirely in the second half and no sooner do i say that here is quincy welch so welch back at the controls he's a freshman out of austin texas and again both of these quarterbacks figure prominently in the plans for san diego mesa here in 2021 gary watkins says that they expect a lot of out of both of them and they both bring a lot to the table pass from welch complete to schicker out to the 28-yard line pushed out of bounds by cj hododon excuse me hot cj hodgdon ogden trying to get used to some of the pronunciations on the new team this year a lot of new players of course for the pirates designed roll welch's pass is picked off daniel dixon dixon weaving down the near side he's still on his feet at the 15. finally brought down inside the 10. give you the replay here and for welch and we haven't said this much today but this might have just been an ill-advised throw and again dixon does a great job of settling down in coverage and i don't think welch saw him as he throws on the run and dixon steps in front of that one a good return all the way back to the eight yard line and for the pirates an opportunity to tack some points on here 9 54 to go and they have it first and goal more scores from the north san francisco a 45-nothing win over sacramento city earlier today handoff left side and for another touchdown andrew tilly correct that i believe i said andrew tilly but it's alex tilly sure that i have that right and tilly the sophomore out of oxnard good push on that left side as he just goes off tackle left side nearly untouched into the end zone it's an eight-yard run for alex tilly and for the pirates another touchdown pushes the lead to 48-14 extra point up and good so what had been a 14-point game early in the fourth the pirates have managed to break it open three unanswered touchdowns in the lead now 49-14 after alex tilly takes it in from eight yards out all set up by the interception by daniel dixon american river big winner over chabot 69-7 merced earlier today a big win over los medanos 54-7 kick away heading down the near sideline into the end zone this will be a touch back nice job angling that one away no return and mesa will start from the 25 with 9 54 to go just underway in antelope valley that's our other game here on socalcollegesports.com antelope valley hosting victor valley and it's the marauders with the early 14-0 lead and after the series from quincy welch they'll go back to gunner gray at quarterback will the olympians they keep it on the ground on first down big collision daniel latonka with his first carry kobe maddox laying the lumber with the big hit on la tonka latonka an interesting week last week he had the first carry of the game for san diego mesa and it was a 62-yard touchdown run and that was latonka's last carry in the game pretty good stat line one carry for 62 yards and a touchdown so that was his second carry of the season and he is met by maddox after a gain of three yards second down and seven back to la tonka right tripped up at the 42 i should say the 37 yard line it's a gain of three third down and four cj hogged in on the stop three yards [Music] latonka remains the lone setback three wide receiver set 8 45 and counting play action to latonka pass complete to arago who hurdles a tackler at the 40 tripped up at the 41. give hogdon credit for the stop noah rajo is an interesting story in my conversation with gary watkins this week we went through some of the players on the team and he was introducing me to some of the players who were likely to see in our phone conversation and as i prepared to move on to the next group it was gary watkins who said hey what about the tight ends and he wanted to talk about noah rajo and what a tremendous young player he is and what he means to this offense and we have seen that for raja with a couple of catches here pass over the middle complete into pirate territory that was desean owens working over the middle down to the 32-yard line maybe it was all my years of covering the pirates and uh i wasn't so ready to talk about the tight ends and uh but that was we definitely wanted to get to know rajo and you can see why as he is a focal part of this offense kale patterson on the carry down to the 26. that is a gain of six yards for patterson and the second down and four as mesa putting together a drive midway through the fourth after the pirates have really dominated thus far in the fourth quarter looking for sullivan flags come out it's gonna be another pass interference call sullivan working one-on-one against sudaran vinson and vincent had pretty good coverage i'm going to give you a look at the replay here and just too much contact i think if you're sedaran vincent and it's going to bring the penalty so a 15-yard penalty from the previous spot automatic first down we'll move it into the red zone so they'll place the football at the ventura 11 and wind the clock 724 remaining in the ball game three wide receivers to the left patterson cuts it back and lowers the shoulder down to the seven five yard run for cale patterson brings up second down and five from the seventh giovanni rodriguez with the tackle this drive started back at the mesa 25 yard line the big play the reception over the middle by desean owens thus far in the drive patterson running right and he is brought down a loss on the play a little bit of pushing and shoving after the whistle adrian sirocco again on the stop he has had a big game defensively for the pirates another tackle for a loss that will go down as a one-yard loss for kale patterson and it will make it third down and six from the eight interesting to see if gary watkins is thinking four plays here does he want the touchdown or ultimately with the game decided at this point midway through the fourth and a 49-14 score does he give dominic camacho a chance for a field goal we'll see gray backing up throws into the end zone open for a touchdown vincent with the reception so gray finds anthony gilpin in the back of the end zone this is a great play by gunner gray who backs up gives himself a little bit of time lets gilpin make his move at the back of the end zone and catch that football for an olympian touchdown it's a good response by san diego mesa after the pirates had really pulled away in this fourth quarter they go 75 yards and cap it off as gray finds gilpin for the touchdown 49-21 the score 5 56 to go in the ball game it's ventura college football on the vc sports network mesa set to kick off and they'll send this one deep pirates had to at least be somewhat concerned about the possibility of an onside kick hands team on the field and that one will go for a touchback the pirates will take over from the 25 556 remaining in the ball game next week the pirates are at el camino our next broadcast of ventura football will be in two weeks as the pirates will be home to take on chaffey college of course you can always check our full schedule by heading to our website www.socalcow and as always you can search all of our upcoming broadcasts by going to our channel on youtube search socalcollegesports1 and it will send you to our page where you can see any of the players for our upcoming broadcast nine yard run on first down alex tilley remains in the game in the backfield another solid run for tilly give him eight yards call it second down and two i'm trying to double check if that's a change at quarterback might be seeing walea here as pasho might have finished his day and indeed that looks to me like it is william quarterback number 18 all right yeah it's not vince walea it's number 18 zachary george george's big hole up the middle into the secondary it's alex tilly this is a great hole up front for tilly and watch him explode through and into the secondary and wick and kelly have both had their moments but alex tilly has been as good as anybody carrying the football here today he takes it all the way to the mesa 43-yard line so george's will bring him to the line and they'll go right back to the ground game trying to chew up the clock did that football pop out san diego mesa pointing as if they have it but i think the ruling going to be down by contact and it will remain pirate football tilly stop for no gain but the pirates content to run as much time off the clock as they can 49-21 the pirates poised to move to 2-0 on the young season as they will head back on the road next week and be at el camino hand off to tilly dragging a tackler to the 39 that's a four-yard run for tilly it was ryan sanford who finally was able to ride him to the ground but not before tilly carried him for about four yards third down and six and will george has put the football up here or will steve mcshay again be content to keep it on the ground and run a little more time here's the snap and it's tilly who will get the call runs into a wall no gain on the play finally push back at the 39 will be fourth down and six and chris elba who has had a very good game today as well with the interception and he got a piece blocking the punt early in the third quarter that led to another mesa touchdown it's interesting alba is a player that gary watkins talked about when talked about alba in terms of what a guy like sophomore sean moskowitz means to this team sean moscow it's a one of the few returning sophomores on this mesa defense and said that what moskowitz means to a talented group of linebackers coming in as freshmen so important for this mesa defense and guys like alba who a lot of talent into this defense really benefit from what moskowitz is able to impart to them from his experience at the college level and they look ahead to a stronger unit as this season goes on and looking ahead even to next year time out on the field with 225 remaining and the pirates facing a fourth down and six from the mesa 39-yard line thank art gilbreth on camera today our broadcast today being directed by emery johnson of course our broadcast produced by mike zepeda my special thanks to rick ruffanelli acting as a spotter uh for me today i appreciate his help of course jimmy walker athletic director here at ventura college and jimmy helps to make this possible as georges is hit and dropped for a sack by christensen so that'll give it back to mesa at the 45-yard line as this time it's the pirates who turn it over on downs and we thank jimmy for uh bringing us out making this possible here from ventura college we look forward to bringing you all of the pirate home games this season and of course we're going to expand a little bit this year we'll have some coverage of volleyball and soccer and basketball as well so we're thrilled to continue our association with ventura college very proud to be part of that team thanks to both coaches steve moushagan of course taking some time to talk to us this week as we learn about the new batch of pirate players here in 2021 and there's a lot of returning players and a lot of incoming talent it's an exciting year for pirate football upcoming no question and uh special thanks to gary watkins as well who took some time this week to talk to us uh san diego mesa head coach and uh it was a pleasure to talk to gary for a little while this week and uh learn a little bit more about this uh talented young san diego mesa team that will fall to one and one here today but can look ahead to some bright things this upcoming season we'll be off next week at socalcowiesports.com no no games next week but we'll have a full slate of games for you in a couple of weeks among those uh pirate fans look for the pirates to return to action against chafee college uh hear from the vc sportsplex and we will have that game for you and we're looking forward to it it's a an exciting team that the pirates have here in 2021 and of course it's thrilling just to have pirate football back on the field we're happy you've joined us here tonight coming down to 90 seconds remaining in this one and ventura getting a little scare in the third quarter but great response in that fourth quarter to pull away for a 49-21 lead at this point mesa maybe trying to tack something on here late if they can inside handoff and a gain of perhaps a yard ball comes out late but it's blown dead that was junior akantunde on the carrier so the three-yard run for akintunde was good enough for a first down as we wind under a minute to go keep it on the ground and it's akin tunde and akintunde gets down to the 37-yard line kale jackson able to move up for the stop seven yard run for akintunde we'll make it second in three but we'll see if mesa wants to run another play down to 20 seconds they may elect to just let this one run out they'll line up to perhaps run one more they might have to we don't have the play clock here down to seven seconds and this will be the final play and it'll be akintunde straight ahead down inside the 30 to the 28. but it's academic at this point as it's now a final ventura college opens their 2021 home schedule with a win over san diego mesa 49-21 the final score for everybody here at socalcollegesports.com thank you so much for joining us so long everybody we'll see in a couple of weeks you
