Mt. St. Mary’s Outscores Ready Springs, 48-24

In a high scoring Nevada County Athletic League flag football shootout Thursday afternoon, the Mt. St. Mary’s Eagles followed a superb five-touchdown passing effort from quarterback Michael Buonarati to outlast Ready Springs, 48-24.

Playing on the Raiders’ home turf in Penn Valley, Eagles tight end Alexis Carrillo and wide receiver Ben Kaupt each caught a pair of scoring passes from Buonarati as the undersized but big hearted play by St. Mary’s offensive line was key in the win

.

Leading the defensive efforts for Mt. St. Mary’s were secondary players Cody Parker and Nick Hasert while Dominic Guiliani (5 flag pulls) and Parker Keane-Stein were also key

Undefeated Mt. St. Mary’s figures to face a big test Tuesday in a game at Magnolia.

 Plesant Valley 20 Yuba River Charter 6 - After a tight first half which saw the score stalemated at 6-6, the Pleasant Valley Vikings opened up their attack to pull out a 20-6 win over a much improved Yuba River Charter squad.

Yuba River had taken an early 6-0 lead before the Vikings struck back with quarterback Brandon Fouse hooking up with tight end Nolan Stefani from five yards out for the tally. A 30-yard pass from Fouse to Jakob Freele set up the PV score.

In the tell-tale second half, PV grabbed the lead for good with Fouse and Freele connecting for a score from 15-yards out and then on a five-yard scamper by Freele. A 27-yard aerial from Fouse to James Ramirez was the big play in the march.

PV's Stafani also added a two-point conversion reception while the big defensive plays were turned in by nose tackle Logan Martinez, Andrew Hedger, Ryley Berzins, Kevin Patterson and Logan Martinez.
