South Hills outscores Los Altos, 29-7
South Hills High School has controlled its nonleague series against Los Altos in recent years, and that didn’t change Friday night.
Senior quarterback Jacob Shirley threw a touchdown pass to Ify Umodu and the Huskies rallied from a seven-point deficit to score a 29-7 victory over the Conquerors at Los Altos.
South Hills, which stretched its winning streak to five games, improved to 6-2. The Huskies, who are 2-0 in San Antonio League play, finish the season against league rivals Walnut and Rowland in the next two weeks.
Los Altos slipped to 3-5.
“We played sloppy in the first half and were down 7-0,” South Hills coach Steve Bogan said. “We just came out and played better football. We put some drives together, got some breaks and played clean.”
South Hills also got touchdown runs from Jamel Hart and Isaic Ramirez.
Los Altos took a 7-0 lead on a 20-yard pass by quarterback Justin Zamano.
“The score wasn’t an indication how the game went,” Los Altos coach Felipe Aguilar said. “Our kids played hard. It was probably the best we’ve played all year.
“If we get a couple of breaks here and there, we have a chance to win this game. But we turned it over four times and you can’t do that against a team like South Hills.
“But I’m proud of my kids. They battled.”
Los Altos, which closes the season against Miramonte League foes Diamond Ranch and Charter Oak, must win one of those two to stay in the hunt for a playoff spot.
