Playing together for the last time in high school, record-setting quarterback-receiver duo of Azul Trujillo and Jessica Manriquez led the Vincent Memorial High School to its second consecutive CIF San Diego Section title.<\/p>\n
Trujillo, a junior, completed 21 of 27 passes for 288 yards and six TDs and Manriquez, a senior, pulled down 11 of those passes for 131 yards and three TDs. As a result, the 12th-seeded Scots captured the Division 2 championship with a 38-7 victory over third-seeded Escondido Charter on Saturday afternoon at Olympian High School.<\/p>\n
Not bad for a team that started the season 0-6.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m so proud we made it this far after the way things started,\u201d said Trujillo. \u201cI\u2019m just so excited for our whole team.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe got everything we worked so hard for even after such a rocky start,\u201d said Manriquez, who also added an interception on defense. \u201cStill, I think Azul and I will have a chance to play together again in college; that\u2019s the plan.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Scots (15-8) racked up a 26-6 halftime lead and never looked back.<\/p>\n
Junior Ananti Medina led the offense for Escondido Charter (12-9), pulling down eight passes from quarterback Riley Graff for 94 yards and a TD.<\/p>\n

CHULA VISTA, CA \u2013 November 07, 2026: Scripps Ranch\u2019s quarterback Ashley Koba throws a pass to Malia Kollmeyer for a touchdown against Cathedral Catholic in the first quarter of the CIF Division 1 flag football championship at Olympian High School in Chula Vista on Saturday, November 07, 2026.

\nDivision 1<\/p>\n
Cathedral Catholic 14, Scripps Ranch 13: Mila Petitte took a pitch on an option play from quarterback Sabrina Jutronich with 4:48 remaining and raced 36 yards up the sideline to score the tying touchdown. The extra-point pass from Jutronich to Emma Weeks gave the top-seeded Dons (16-7) a one-point victory and the San Diego Section Division 1 title.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was really scared; if I didn\u2019t catch it or they caught me, we wouldn\u2019t win,\u201d said Petitte. \u201cI caught it, did a little juke and took off.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were running out of time and I knew we had to score,\u201d said Jutronich. \u201cI told her on that option play just to stay with me and look for the pitch.\u201d<\/p>\n
It was the third time the two teams played this year. Scripps Ranch won the first game 25-12 on Sept. 1, with Cathedral Catholic winning 31-13 a month ago.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey got us and then we got them,\u201d said Dons coach Ryan Wiegand. \u201cI\u2019m an old baseball guy and we always did things in three-game series and the third game is always the toughest.\u201d<\/p>\n
Scripps Ranch (15-9), the No. 2 seed, led 13-7 at the half behind a pair of TD passes from sophomore quarterback Ashley Koba to junior playmaker Malia Kollmeyer.<\/p>\n
Division 3<\/p>\n
Santa Fe Christian 20, Patrick Henry 6: Santa Fe Christian intercepted five passes on the way to a two-touchdown win in the Division 3 title game.<\/p>\n
SFC was ahead 6-0 when its defense turned in its first big play of the afternoon. Ari Dorn came down with an interception to set up an instant goal-to-go opportunity for the Eagles\u2019 offense. Less than a minute later, Winslow Lenihan connected with Therese Esmay on an 11-yard score to stretch the Santa Fe Christian lead to 13-0.<\/p>\n
Later in the third quarter and holding a 13-6 lead, the Eagles\u2019 secondary struck again. Maya Hamrick went airborne to intercept a deep Henry pass. The Eagles then put the game on ice, with Lenihan\u00a0hitting Dorn in stride for a 35-yard score.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m thinking to myself, just catch the ball,\u201d Dorn said. \u201cIt was going through my mind nonstop.\u201d<\/p>\n
Division 4<\/p>\n
Imperial 31, Oceanside 0: Imperial wrapped up its run to a section title behind a five-touchdown day from quarterback Julissa Romo.<\/p>\n
In four playoff wins, the Tigers outscored their opponents by a total score of 175-19.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur girls just meshed at the right time,\u201d Imperial coach Victor Cruz said.<\/p>\n
The Imperial offense opened scoring with a hook-and-ladder play on fourth down that led to a 27-yard touchdown by Addison Clark. The play, called \u201cPickes,\u201d is a player favorite.<\/p>\n
Imperial tacked on 18 second-half points to put the game away, with Romo throwing three second-half touchdown passes.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know I can trust all my girls,\u201d Romo said. \u201cTowards the middle of this year, I think we all really came together and took on a winning mindset.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Playing together for the last time in high school, record-setting quarterback-receiver duo of Azul Trujillo and Jessica Manriquez…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":522437,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[2044,181,74,76,75,127],"class_list":["post-522436","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego","tag-high-school-sports","tag-latest-headlines","tag-san-diego","tag-san-diego-headlines","tag-san-diego-news","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/522436","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=522436"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/522436\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/522437"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=522436"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=522436"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=522436"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
