Righetti wins on last-second TD

Max Clark had 79 yards on 13 carries and Ryan Dalmas had two completions for 31 yards and a touchdown pass to Zach Maravigili, but the Righetti junior varsity scored a go-ahead touchdown with 26 seconds left in the game to escape with a victory.

After going down 7-0 toward the end of the first quarter, the Braves Jesse Olofson caught a beat on a Righetti route at the start of the second quarter, intercepting a pass deep in Coastal Warrior territory and taking the pigskin to the endzone for a score.

Olofson’s presence in the secondary highlighted an overall strong performance by Tehachapi on defense, with John Cramer leading all tacklers with seven tackles, Niko Taliulu and Luke Mears registering four tackles, Luke Papac with three take-downs, and Chris Rush, Matt Santos, Dylan Fralick, Clint Heinzler, Nick Howell, and Dougan Patience having multiple tackle afternoons.

Maravigili also had an interception in the game while Nick Howell had a fumble recovery.
