El Capitan clips Sultans, 14-7, remains at top of Grossmont Valley League standings

Senior Brady Jorelmon rushed 18 times for 128 yards and touchdown and senior Brandt Barker passed for 133 yards and one score as the visiting El Capitan Vaqueros remained undefeated in Grossmont Valley League play with a 14-7 win at Santana.

“It’s always great to stay in the win column,” El Capitan head coach Ron Burner said. “We just have to take one game at a time. We have our rivals both in (back-to-back) weeks to determine the league championship — Santana and then West Hills. Always tough games on both sides. Long ways to go in league.”

El Capitan improved to 3-0 in league play, 5-3 overall, with their fourth consecutive win overall.

The Vaqueros out-gained the Sultans 268-135 in total yards. Senior Ayden Banegas had one catch for 50 yards while sophomore Michael Valencia had five pass grabs totaling 60 yards.

Senior Aaron Altamirano led El Capitan defensively with 13 tackles while senior Marlon Ames had two sacks. Senior Kory Savage ruled the airwaves with three interceptions while junior Spencer Chastang had one pick.

Senior Noah Qualin (two catches, 35 yards) scored the lone touchdown for Santana (5-3 overall). Sophomore Ethan Miller passed for 84 yards with one touchdown and one interception.

Senior Aiden Thornton had 12 tackles and Qualin had an interception to key the Sultans.

The Vaqs have two home games remaining on their regular season schedule: Oct. 25 against West Hills in the team’s annual Tony Burner Memorial Trophy rivalry game and Nov. 1 against El Cajon Valley.

The trophy is named in the honor of Burner’s son Tony, who played at West Hills and later coached alongside his father at El Capitan.

The Sultans close out regular season play Nov. 1 against visiting West Hills in the teams’ annual Mayor’s Cup rivalry game.
