Favorites Win Under Friday Night Lights


Friday Night Football on the Central Coast

The favorites did the lion's share of the winning Friday night.

In the Pac-7 Atascadero crunched Lompoc 35-0 to push their league record to 3-0 and Paso Robles shut down Arroyo Grande 34-0 to do the same. In the only upset of the evening Righetti came from behind to defeat San Luis Obispo 33-20.

The standings:

Atascadero 3-0
Paso Robles 3-0
San Luis Obispo 2-2
Arroyo Grande 1-2
Righetti 1-2
Lompoc 0-4

Los Padres League

Templeton leapfrogged from fifth place into a tie for third with a 21-7 victory over Cabrillo. St. Joseph had no trouble with Morro Bay winning 41-0. The same was true of Pioneer Valley at Santa Maria-- the Panthers won 37-6. In the only nailbiter of the evening Nipomo notched its first league victory with a 38-32 win over Santa Ynez.

The standings--

St. Joseph 6-0
Pioneer Valley 4-1
Morro Bay 3-2
Templeton 3-2
Cabrillo 3-3
Nipomo 1-4
Santa Ynez 1-4
Santa Maria 0-5

Lompoc's only remaining chance at a CIF playoff berth lies with Cabrillo which faces a must-win game next Friday against Morro Bay. With a victory the Conquistadores would saddle the Pirates with their third loss of the season and would hold the advantage should the two teams finish 4-3. Templeton, with Pioneer Valley and Nipomo remaining on the schedule, might end up 4-3 as well and the Eagles would have the edge over Cabrillo with tonight's victory. Morro Bay faces tough Pioneer in its finale. If Cabrillo, Templeton and Morro Bay all finish 4-3 the two playoff berths would be determined by chance.
