DANTE BERGGREN, JUSTIN STEFANI, MARK PAULE, DEMETRIUS VINSON - GOOD NIGHT TO BE AN RB IN THE 209 We warned defenses about Waterford RB Dante Berggren a few weeks back – and had the video to back it up – but not even Black Hat Football could have anticipated Friday night’s debut! The Cat went off with 6 TDs – including a 99-yarder in a 37-18 win over Riverbank. Check out his TD 35 seconds into the tape! … Gregori RB Demetrius Vincent is another kid we told ya about over the summer, and he didn’t disappoint with 228 yards on the ground though the Jaguars’ defense faltered in a 40-36 loss to Chavez … Sierra has been a big-play offense since coach Jeff Harbison has been calling the shots, and that hasn’t changed. Junior RB Mark Paule (21 carries, 195 yards) not only ran for 190 yards, he tied Anthony Cota’s school-record seven TDs in a 54-7 rout of Ripon. No surprise that Hunter Johnson caught eight balls for 112 yards … Gotta feel for El Capitan-Merced, which has only juniors but is opening its first varsity season with Buhach Colony, Golden Valley and Merced – three Division 1 schools with strong programs. Sorry, but someone has to ask this question: What were they thinking when they decided El Capitan would open against those three schools? Buhach crushed the Gauchos 51-0 with Justin Stefani (140 yards, 2 TDs on just 5 carries) thrilling the Thunder’s crowd with a 65-yard TD run. Stephon Eastman’s 45-yard punt return was a beauty and backup QB Brandon Sanchez returned an INT for a TD. It was a great start for Buhach coach Kevin Navarra – making his debut as head coach … Modesto lost a ton of offensive talent from last year’s Modesto Metro Conference-championship team, but Nate Phillips took over at QB and produced 3 TDs in a 40-13 win over Ceres. Phillips was sidelined last season by an intra-district dispute, and he’s now playing for his stepfather, Modesto coach Rich Alkire. https://youtube/watch?v=Rk1EptM22tg
