Sacred Heart Prep (1-3) begins its Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division schedule with a 7:30 p.m. game at Aragon (4-0).
“Aragon has a lot of talent,’’ Sacred Heart Prep coach Mark Grieb said. “There’s a reason for that record. Defensively we’ve got to slow down their running game and challenge their top receiver.’’
The receiver Grieb references is Davion Cox, part of a talented pair of wideouts that also includes Donaven Robinson. Aragon, which has averaged 35 points per game in wins over Aptos, South San Francisco, Palo Alto and The King’s Academy, has also gotten outstanding production from quarterback Gabe Campos and running backs Camron Grant and Paul Lautaimi.
“(Campos) is very accurate and super slippery,’’ said Steve Sell, now in his 18th year as head coach at Aragon. “Grant could be a double-digits guy this year in both touchdowns and sacks.’’
Sacred Heart Prep, since a 42-6 win over Sobrato in the second week of the season, lost to Hillsdale and McClymonds.
“Offensively we’ve got to be able to toe the line of scrimmage and finish plays, be good with the ball,’’ Grieb said. “We’ve got to keep getting better. We’ve had some injuries, but you can’t make excuses. Football is a physical game.’’
Quarterback Brad Yaffe has completed 46 of 90 passes for 542 yards for SHP. John Willard leads the team in rushing with 283 yards, followed by Tevita Moimoi (178 yards), Brian Tinsley (163 and Yaffe (100).
The bye week allowed linemen Jake Davison and Alex Henske to return from the injured list, a development Grieb hopes will pay dividends Friday.
