Trojans ride winning streak to post season

The CVHS football team faced the San Ramon Valley Wolves in the NCS playoffs Nov. 18. Though the Trojans were defeated after a long battle with the Wolves,42-14, they still had an amazing streak of six consecutive wins before this loss

Starting a little before the Homecoming game a while back, the Trojan football team began a series of wins that continued up until the most recent game against San Ramon Valley. In the beginning of their season, the boys had a four-game losing streak that began to turn around with a win against San Lorenzo.

After that, they powered through their next games, winning by large margins with a mix of outstanding plays.

When questioned about the team’s large successes in the past six games, team captain David Valladares said, “Our coaches went over films on the other teams, and we went over every move.”

“After we won the Homecoming game we were all pumped and we knew what we had to do,” said Valladares. From there, the team worked off of its win streak and powered through to the NCS playoffs.

Unfortunately, the Trojans’ win streak was cut short by the match against San Ramon Valley. Though the varsity boys fought hard, their opponents were tough and included one of the top quarterbacks in the nation.

For the seniors on the team, this last game against San Ramon Valley was especially emotional, as it was the last game of their high school careers.
