The battle for top spot in Northern California's boys HS club Sacramento conference is basically down to two teams now as Granite Bay defeated Sierra Foothills 27-5 Friday night at Granite Bay's field.
Led by the scoring touch of speedy fullback Sam Cusano, with Tyler Rouse and Garrett Walker also touching down, the Grizzlies moved to 5-0, keeping pace with undefeated Jesuit for the conference title. The two teams will face off April 10 for what should be 1st place.
Players such as lock and HS All American Chase Bixby, Rouse, flanker Justin Oles, and HS All American Matt Rogers all contributed. Oles, perhaps not as well-known as the other three, as getting the job done as a loose forward.
"He's an explosive flanker and just has a top-notch work rate," said Divine. "He's a buzz-saw."
Sierra Foothills drops to 4-2.
