SHP tops Aragon to take co-title in Bay Division

Needing a win in Friday’s Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division finale, Sacred Heart Prep wasted no time.

The Gators (4-1 in PAL Bay, 6-3 overall) came out swinging with 28 first-half points en route to earning a PAL Bay Division co-championship with a 52-21 victory Friday at Aragon (1-4, 5-4). Coupled with Burlingame’s 14-0 win over Menlo-Atherton, SHP finishes in a three-way tie for the Bay crown Division with the Panthers (4-1, 8-1) and the Bears (4-1, 5-4).

Senior running back Lapitu Mahoni paced SHP with five touchdowns, running for 188 yards on 19 carries to maintain the rushing lead in the PAL Bay Division. The Gators maintained a balanced attack with quarterback Mason Randall throwing 6-of-10 for 171 yards and a touchdown, with tight end Andrew Daschbach totaling four receptions for 159 yards.

Aragon quarterback Tanner Nguyen was 21-of-31 passing for 260 yards with two TDs and an interception. Sophomore receiver Gabe Campos was his most reliable target with eight catches for 86 yards.
