Quarterback Talon Trumble rushed for 160 yards and a touchdown and passed for a score, leading the Carointiera football team to 16-13 win at Channel Islands on Friday night, ending a 14-game losing streak for the Warriors.
“We were playing with lots of emotion and focus and wanted the win,” said coach Mario Robinson.
Sebastian Hernandez caught four of Trumble’s passes, including a touchdown. He also came up with an interception in the last minute of the game to secure Carpinteria’s first victory beating Vasquez in the final game of the 2019 season.
Trumble was the workhorse for the Warriors, carrying the ball 28 times. He also ran for a key 2-point conversion. In the air, he completed 8 of 12 passes.
“Talon Trumble deserves the game ball with hard running and good passing,” said Robinson
Carpinteria played well defensively.
“The defense played tough and kept making big plays and getting stops when needed,” said the coach. “It was great to see the team come together and battle for four quarters. Very proud of the entire team and excited to see them keep the momentum going.”
Carpinteria (1-2) returns home to play Brentwood next Friday night.
