The La Costa Canyon Mavericks have done it. Big offensive plays by an athletic Mavericks offense, and a stifling Gang Green defensive showing have landed the Mavericks their first Division I CIF championship, with at 45-28 win over Escondido.
Quarterback Sebastian Frausto passed for 235 yards and 2 touchdowns. He also added a score on the ground. Frausto's favorite targets were Matt S. Williams, who added 2 scores on 50 yards receiving, and Kenny Stills, ended the night with 100 yards receiving and 2 touchdowns, including a 47-yard touchdown reception midway through the third quarter to ice the game.
The Gang Green defense proved its dominance, culminating a fantastic year with a dominant championship display, shutting down Escondido stars Ricky Seale and Tim Zier for 3 quarters. Dutch Hapgood pulled down a first quarter interception and Mike Kaiser put a kill shot on the Escondido quarterback. Linebacker Jacob Driver flew around like a bat out of hell all night. It was a total team effort, with each defensive player contributing.
For head coach Darrin Brown, its been a long road to the championship. Taking over the football program in 2000, Brown has taken the program from mediocrity to a CIF champion. With runningback Seth Hanson, linebacker Ian Seau, kicker Robert Zalud, defensive tackle Adam Witzmann, offensive lineman Aaron Wofford, and wide receiver Kenny Stills coming back for the 2009 campaign, the Mavericks will challenge for a back-to-back championship.
whooo hoooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!
Outstanding job, Ryan, on this entire website. Your dedication to Maverick football is very much appreciated!!! As a fan from the beginning, I am so very proud. Maverick football not only represents excellence on the field, but class and leadership off of it as well. Congratulations!!!
The beginning of a dynasty????
Ian Seau Isn't a linebacker, OOPS! He's a tackle get with the program...
Actually, you are only partially accurate.
He's lined up at both d-end and d-tackle depending on the defense... d-end more than d-tackle. Earlier in the year he lined up in the linebacker position on occasion.
Seau listed as a DE on the roster, not a DT
Any ideas where Seau wants to play college ball. He's only a sophomore though right? How fast is he?
Is Ian Seau even good?? Like does he even have any looks at by colleges?? he doesnt. he isnt even a player.
He had a great season, especially for a sophomore starting on varsity - that's pretty impressive. They have videos of him in the videos section of this site.
Ian Seau is a joke like i swear he makes no plays. i would like to see him have a good season just once and get some college looks. He does nothing. he isnt an impact player or an exciting one to watch. trust me
ian seau is actually really good he has pete carrol watching him at more than a couple of practices this year. just thought you should know that.
aaron wofford is really good. very strong, quick and great footwork. hes got to have colleges looking at him
hey to all you people talking shit on ian seau.. screw you. hes the best talent on the team. hes got USC, Notre Damne and other colleges looking at him. if you ask me i wouldnt be surprised at all to see ian in the NFL
honestly think about it. if seau was good he would be talked about around the world. im pretty sure he isnt. he is a fag. i have no respect for him. he hasnt proved himself. all those colleges want him for his last name nothing else. the nfl will never take him either
i agreee with everyone else who hates ian seau. F HIM!!! no one likes him. im better than him. so everyone who like him go SUCK ONE
The sophistication level of rival high school student-athlete comments (see above)lol
homiee. lcc sucks. they aint nothin
then why does LCC got a ring this year and oyou dont
Why does everybody comment as anonymous? C'mon don't be afraid to show yourself.
Justin DiRe is the most under appreciated lineman to go to LCC. He has everything college coaches desire, height, footwork and srtrength and he knows the game very well. wyoming got a good pick up with him.
