"Campolindo built a 21-point lead at halftime but might have given up too many yards and committed too many penalties for its liking in the second half, ultimately resulting in a 42-21 win over the less experienced Broncos. Senior running back Micah Parker led an effective Cougars ground game with 159 yards and two touchdowns on 13 carries. But Campolindo wasn't as crisp as it wanted to be Friday, even as it improved to 2-0 for the first time since 2022, when it went 12-1."
"Campolindo raced out to a 21-0 lead in the second quarter as Parker, senior Everett Zellmer, and junior Ryan Erickson all scored touchdowns, with Erickson's score coming on a 52-yard run with 9:29 to go before halftime. Northgate got that touchdown back on its next possession, as junior running back Tristan Tolerton capped a short drive with a 14-yard touchdown run with 7:31 left in the second quarter."
"In all, Campolindo, behind an experienced offensive line, ran for 296 yards on 30 carries to help improve to 10-0 against Northgate since 2004. Parker also had 84 yards rushing in the Cougars' 42-7 win over Granada last week. Macy said Parker sprained his ankle in the summer, and the team didn't know until last week whether he would be available to play in the season-opener. So he's still running on"
