High School Football Game of the Week

Written by Carroll Buckley

Wednesday, 18 October 2006

The Southwest Eagles travel to downtown San Diego Friday night to meet the San Diego Cavers of the Western League. The Cavers of Coach Glenn Goings are 2 and 5 so far this year which is one more win then they had all last season.

Wide Receiver George Bell, Linebacker Kenneth Underwood Running backs Tim Martinez and Eric Roberson lead the young Cavers who have a storied football past.Bell is 6' 4" and makes an inviting target. The Eagles are led by Senior quarterback Mo Castro on offense. He hands the ball off to a variety of running back to include senior Michael Dukes , junior Matt Garcia and sophomore Jon Iruegas. It's the Eagles stifling defense that has led the team overall. Mo Murillo , Sal Sanchez , Jacob Jones and others on the front line backed up by the likes of John Parra , Eddie Alcantar and Elliott Tagg have been impressive despite the teams 2 and 4 record. The Eagles of Coach Mike Swearingen have been bitten by the injury bug since even before the start of the season. They've had to play without a number of starters or had them slowed by injuries. Last week senior Matt Crise got significant playing time against the Central Spartans and looks to contribute more this week.

The Friday night game is San Diego High Schools Homecoming Game and they are looking for a crowd of over five thousand at historic Balboa Stadium.the home of the Chargers when they first moved to San Diego. Jon Driffill, Matt Juleson and Carroll Buckley will be high atop the press box of the classic stadium to broadcast the game. The pre-game show starts at 6:45 and the kick-off is scheduled for 7:00 PM. The game will be live on KXO AM1230.
