Oxnard, CA — So there a reason it's called the Black and Blue Bowl. The Rio Mesa High football team unleased a withering rushing assault that left a mark on the esteemed rivalry and the Camarillo defense Friday night. J'lin Wingo rushed for 121 yards and three touchdowns, including carries of 52, 18 and 1 yard in the first half, J.J. Bittner picked up 96 rushing yards on seven carries and Henry Borjas scored on a 52-yard end around as the host Spartans rang up a 47-28 victory. Rio Mesa piled up 308 rushing yards. Bittner, the sophomore quarterback, was also 15 of 24 for 164 yards in the air as Rio Mesa built a 37-14 lead by halftime. The bruising ground game impressed Spartans coach Jim Bittner. "I think you won the battle in the trenches," he told his players at game's end. Wingo, a 6-foot, 195-pound junior, said the week's practices set up the victory. "We work hard, we practice hard," he said. "We knew this was an important game for us. Our job was to get it done." Rio Mesa, in leveling its record to 1-1, doesn't have much time to savor the victory over its next-door neighbor in the 47-year-old rivalry. The Spartans play in the nine-team Channel League and will open league play at home next Friday vs. San Marcos. "We'll be ready," promised J.J. Bittner. "We'll enjoy this and move on. Our focus is on winning a league championship." The Spartans' rushing dominance helped overcome a huge night by Camarillo's pass-catch combination of quarterback Brody Meyer to wide receiver Griffin Addison. The duo proved more lethal than a rattler's bite. Meyer completed 21 of 36 attempts for 396 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. Addison hauled in nine catches for 277 yards, including touchdown receptions of 81, 80 and 41 yards. The numbers didn't ease the hurt for the senior Addison. "It's disappointing to lose to our rival," he said. "We just weren't able to stop their run. We know our potential, and we'll go back to work. Brody's a great quarterback and I think this shows what we can do this season." The Scorpions received tough news late in the week that star two-way player Brandon Contreras might have suffered a hernia in last week's opening-night win vs. Hart. He was scheduled to undergo an MRI on Saturday. "The rest of our receivers will just have to step up," said Addison. "I'm sure we can do it. We have guys like Jack Maulhardt who can pick up the slack." After dropping its opener last week to Saugus, Rio Mesa was ready to build momentum Friday night. J.J. Bittner was the orchestrator of a smooth, consistent and efficient offense vs. the Scorpions. It was evidence of how far the 10th-grader has improved in one season after being rushed in as the emergency starter at quarterback a year ago. "We've all put in a lot of work in the offseason and in the summer to get ready," Bittner said. "I think it shows how much we've come together. The line is playing great, our receivers and running backs are playing hard, and I'm feeling comfortable." Rio Mesa's offense went 6 for 6 on scoring possessions in the first half to race to a 37-14 lead. The Spartans ended their first drive with a 40-yard field goal by Matthew Romero, then tallied five consecutive touchdowns. Wingo's 18-yard scoring jaunt came with 5:38 left in the first quarter and gave Rio Mesa a 10-6 lead it would not relinquish. He followed with a 1-yard touchdown run and a 52-yard burst to open up a 24-6 lead with 9:22 still left in the second quarter. Borjas' 52-yard scoring run on an end around upped the advantage to 37-14 late in the first half. The Meyer-to-Addison connection tried to keep Camarillo in range. The 81-yard touchdown came with 8:06 left in the first half. Their 80-yard scoring collaboration came with 2:36 remaining in the second quarter.
