Las Lomas 21, No. 12 Acalanes 14

Las Lomas running back Kaden Lagaya ran for 128 yards and a touchdown and quarterback Dylan Thomas threw for 160 yards and a TD as the Knights pulled off the upset. For the second year in a row, Acalanes was unable to secure its first outright league title since 1981. Instead, the Dons settled for a share of the crown with Clayton Valley Charter. With starting quarterback Tyler Winkles sitting out due to an injury, the usually-potent Acalanes passing attack sputtered. RB Josh Elerts ran for 63 yards and caught a touchdown, while Acalanes’ only other score was a 78-yard fumble return by Illias Kaplanes-Jones. Las Lomas’ running game helped the visitors possess the ball for 31 minutes, and its defense held the Dons to just 200 yards of offense. Las Lomas also picked off four passes. Acalanes fell to 7-3, 3-1. Las Lomas improved to 7-3, 2-2. – Joseph Dycus
