Goleta, CA — DP Football faced a tough opponent, the league front runner, and the final score was 42-0. Zac Gesswein's return had a significant impact on the defense, resulting in 2 sacks and 1 interception, with Roman Alonzo coming up with the interception on a Tipped pass by Gesswein. Offensively, the team encountered difficulties in the Ventura redzone, but Gonzalo Murrillo stepped up to lead the offense in the absence of the injured Ryan Marsh. Danny Vidaure and Kaleb Williams displayed strong running behind an offensive line that had its hands full with Ventura's talented defense. In the passing game, Joel Felix, Daniel Johnston, Micah Barnhart, and Ivan Velez showed glimpses of their potential, connecting with Gonzalo on a few receptions. Next week, DP Football will face Pacifica, the pre-season league favorite, on Thursday at 7 pm. It promises to be another challenging matchup, and the team will continue to work hard to improve their performance.
