Trabuco Hills edges by Capistrano Valley in fun season opener

Football is back, with a vengeance.

Thursday night featured blow outs in nearly every game except for the one between Trabuco Hills and Capistrano Valley. And if it wasn't for the 73 players cramping during the game, this game could have been considered a classic.

I mean there's nothing like starting football season than back-to-back kickoff returns for touchdowns. Sprinkle in some great touchdown grabs, big hits, some good defense, and you got yourself a bona fide barnburner.

Trabuco QB Jonathan Newsom was outstanding, throwing for two touchdowns. One of them was to Lucas Hoover who grabbed an interception as well.

"Jon's a stud," Hoover said. "He's underrated, so watch out everybody, he's coming."

Capo Valley seemed to respond to the Trabuco attack in the first half, but the Cougars were limited to only seven points in the second half, after the Cougars brought it defensively.
