Cabrillo super sophomore D’Jon Pittman led his Jaguars to their second win of the season, as they took down Verbum Dei in a lopsided win last week. Pittman had three touchdowns in the 49-0 win, including a 90-yard kickoff return, a six-yard run, and an 18-yard catch.

Wilson freshman Simrin Adams led Wilson to two wins last week, over St. Anthony and Millikan. She had 28 kills and seven aces in the two matches, while also leading the Bruins in hitting percentage.
COLLEGE

In addition to her defensive prowess, she also assisted on two goals against Harvard, then led her team to a shutout win over Fresno State.
