The Thousand Oaks High football team has been eliminated, 35-28, by Saugus in the CIF-SS Northern Division quarterfinals at College of the Canyons.

Saugus will visit St. Bonaventure next week in a rematch of last year's semfinals.

Reaction to follow.

Rodriguez finds converted linebacker Mario Lara for a 24-yard TD pass with 2:33 to give Saugus a 35-28 lead.

And Thousand Oaks fumbled the ball back to the hosts on the first play on its subsequent possession.

On the flea flicker, Ian Shultis hits Curtis Dempster for a 40-yard scoring strike to tie the game, 28-28, with 10:55 to play.

Shultis handed the ball off to John Lister, who pitched the ball back to his quarterback, who found Dempster down the right hashmarks behind the Saugus secondary.

And Saugus just had a 35-yard kickoff return called back for an illegal block.

Saugus capitalizes on Rodriguez's third TD run of the night. The 8-yard run gives Saugus a 28-21 lead going into the fourth quarter.

The Saugus QB has three TD runs and a TD pass.

A holding penalty on a 15-yard screen pass to Ricky Minyard stunts a Thousand Oaks drive and the Lancers are forced to punt for the first time tonight.

Desi Rodriguez sneaks in on fourth and goal from the Thousand Oaks 1-yard line with 5:17 left in the third quarter to tie the score back up, 21-21.

The Saugus quarterback carries six times for 39 yards on the drive. He's up to 143 yard rushing tonight.

Ricky Minyard breaks loose off left tackle for a 67-yard touchdown run, with John Lister leading the blocking convoy down the left sideline, to give Thousand Oaks its first lead of the night, 21-14, on the second play of the second half.

SANTA CLARITA -- Lister bowls over three defenders off left tackle for a 32-yard romp to set Thousand Oaks up at the Saugus 24 with just under two minutes to play in the first half at Cougar Stadium.

On the play action, Thousand Oaks quarterback Ian Shultis immediately finds receiver Robert Mullaney alone down the middle of the field for a 24-yard scoring strike with 1:41 left in the half.

That's the way the first half ends. The Lancers will receive the second half kickoff.

Lister has 157 yards on 14 carries.

Desi Rodriguez is putting on a show at Cougar Stadium.

He races upfield, gaining 22 and 21 yards, to covert a second-and-25 predicament. He doubles back in the backfield and unleashes downfield to draw a pass interference penalty.

Then he finishes the drive off himself with a 7-yard keeper to give Saugus a 14-7 lead with 3:04 left in the half.

Two Saugus penalties and five more Lister carries allow Thousand Oaks to knot the score.

Lister broke four tackles on a 35-yard romp before rolling in on the sweep for a 7-yard touchdown run with 8:39 left second quarter.

Lister has 118 yards on 11 carries.

Lister ran five times for 55 yards on Thousand Oaks' first drive, but quarterback Ian Shultis is sacked and stripped on second and 2 from the Saugus 19 and the Centurions take over.

Rodriguez scrambled for 17 yards, found Depew for 21 yards on third and 14 and handed off to Zirbel for a fourth-and-1 conversion as Saugus broke out ahead at Cougar Stadium.

Rodriguez found Depew on play action for a 5-yard touchdown pass and a 7-0 lead with 6:06 left in the first quarter.

SANTA CLARITA -- Thousand Oaks senior running back John Lister has just been officially announced to the Saugus High fans over the public address system as "the one to watch tonight."

Lister has rushed for 2,117 yards this season. He broke his own school record against last week by running for 322 yards and five touchdowns in a 49-28 first-round win over Santa Barbara.

SANTA CLARITA -- Thousand Oaks High football coach Mike Leiben reports no issues to report ahead of the Lancers' CIF-SS Northern Division quarterfinal Friday night at Cougar Stadium.

Other than having to defend Saugus duo Desi Rodriguez and Ryan Zirbel.

"Those two in the backfield is a pretty dynamic combination," said Leiben during pregame.

Rodriguez, the quarterback, has thrown for 1,446 yards, 14 touchdowns and four interceptions, while running for 1,467 yards and 17 touchdowns. Zirbel, the tailback, has rushed for 1,591 yards and 21 touchdowns on 186 carries.

Leiben also singled out slot back Kollin Depew, who has run and received for nearly 700 yards and 7 TDs.

"He's a pretty effective player," said Leiben. "It's a nasty combination."

Stay right here for live updates throughout the night from Cougar Stadium, where Marmonte League runner-up Thousand Oaks (10-1) will face Foothill League champion Saugus (8-3).

The Lancers, who have already beaten Valencia and Canyon this season, are looking to become the virtual Foothill League champion, in addition to advancing to the CIF-SS Northern Division semifinals.

Thousand Oaks just made their first appearance on the turf at College of the Canyons.

The La Reina girls' volleyball team expects to find out its first round opponent when pairings for the 2008 CIF State Girls' Volleyball Championships are released Sunday.

Thousand Oaks and La Reina won CIF-Southern Section cross country titles Saturday at Mount San Antonio College.

Jim Benkert of Westlake High has become the winningest high school football coach in Ventura County history.

Eight-man Division I

Thatcher 30, Sierra Canyon 15: Thatcher School beats Sierra Canyon by staff reports

Logan Meyer threw for 216 yards and three touchdowns, Patrick Hall ran for 104 yards and a touchdown and the defense and special teams made big contributions as the top-seeded Seraphs defeated visiting Newbury Park, 38-14, in the first round of the CIF-Southern Section Northern Division playoffs.

"We're getting back in that playoff mode," said linebacker Dylan Davis.

Running back Cameron Roberson ran for 105 yards and a score on 17 carries for Newbury Park (7-4) before leaving the game in the third quarter with a knee injury.

Having cleared the 6-foot, 205-pound obstacle that was Cameron Roberson and a surprise cameo at wide receiver for Newbury Park senior Chris Brown, St. Bonaventure (10-1) will have a new hurdle in next week's quarterfinals -- the nearly 150-mile trek north to Paso Robles.

The Seraphs have already accomplished a similar feat, having won 35-14 at Atascadero on Sept. 12.

Derek Kirk's 26-yard field goal and Logan Meyer's 25-yard touchdown pass to Nolan Rodarte put St. Bonaventure ahead 38-7 in the fourth quarter.

Newbury Park got a late score on Jake Geringer's 12-yard touchdown pass to Nathaniel Roman.

After scoring on the second play of the first half, the St. Bonaventure High football team, despite not receiving the kickoff, started the second half even faster.

Tanner Foster recovered Newbury Park's fumble on the second half kickoff and Marcus Langkilde turned a short pass into a 31-yard touchdown pass for a 28-7 Seraphs lead.

St. Bonaventure drives nearly 70 yards in the final minute of the first half, but the Newbury Park defense makes the last four plays of the half, stopping St. Bonaventure four times from inside the Newbury Park 2-yard line as the half expires to avoid a 21-point halftime hole.

Newbury Park quarterback Jake Geringer throws incomplete on fourth and three from the St. Bonaventure 33 and, for the second straight possession, the St. Bonaventure defense holds firm on fourth down in their own territory to thwart potential Newbury Park scoring drives.

The last three Newbury Park drives have been stopped on the Seraphs' 33-, 37- and 18-yard line.

After Phil Muscarella's interception was negated by a pass interference call, Isaiah Burton converted a third and 18 by turning a swing pass into a 38-yard touchdown catch.

St. Bonaventure leads 21-7 with 8:58 left in the second quarter.

Needing something to stay in the game, Newbury Park gets it from junior running back Cameron Roberson.

Roberson carries six times on a 65-yard scoring drive, including the capping 3-yard touchdown run to pull the Panthers within 14-7 with 1:51 left in the first quarter.

Following Isaiah Burton's 40-yard punt return, Devin Blackledge gives the Seraphs a 14-0 with a 6-yard touchdown run with 6:07 left in the first quarter.

As they go through warm ups before their CIF-SS playoff game with Valencia, the Ventura Cougars act like a confident team. Head coach Brad Steward said his team will have to play really well to upset the Vikings, but he believes his team is ready to play.
"The team is loose as a goose," Steward said about 50 minutes before kickoff. "So we will either play really well or get our butts kicked."
A lot of what happens tonight will rest on the right arm of sophomore quarterback Keihan Gibbs. Gibbs has played well beyond his experience all season, but he will need to be at his best for his team to have a chance.
"He's matured a lot as a quarterback," Steward said. "And he's a natural born leader."
As for Gibbs feeling extra pressure in his first playoff start, Steward said, "He doesn't care, he just wants to play football."

First round played Friday, Nov. 21

Upper bracket: Campbell Hall at No. 1 St. Margaret's, Yucca Valley at Bishop Union, Ontario Christian at Maranatha, Big Bear at No. 4 Santa Paula.

It was unusual enough that Nordhoff High tried to convert on fourth down on every one of its possessions in Friday's 62-8 loss to Oaks Christian.
But it was even more unusual because of where those fourth-down attempts were coming -- usually deep in Ranger territory.
Here's a list of the fourth-down plays (correcting my story, Nordhoff was 3 of 11, not 3 of 12):
First quarter
4th and 2, Nordhoff 33: Parker Johnsen run for 1 yard. (Oaks scored in five plays)
4th and 18, Nordhoff 12: Drew Rodriguez pass intercepted by Brian Owusu, returned for touchdown.
4th and 13, Nordhoff 43: Incomplete pass. (Oaks did not score on ensuing possession.)
4th and 11, Nordhoff 28: First down on pass interference penalty.
Second quarter
4th and 18, Nordhoff 40: Incomplete pass. (Oaks did not score on ensuing possession.)
4th and 10, Nordhoff 23: Incomplete pass. (Oaks scored in three plays).
4th and 6, Nordhoff 24: First down on pass interference penalty.
Third quarter
4th and 7, Nordhoff 23: Incomplete pass. (Oaks scored in four plays.)
Fourth quarter
4th and 11, Nordhoff 18: Incomplete pass (Oaks scored in four plays.)
4th and 5, Oaks 43: First down on Rodriguez pass to Justin Burgess.
4th and 7, Oaks 16: Rodriguez sacked for 10-yard loss. (Oaks runs out clock and game)
A couple of other elements which contributed to the bizarre nature of the game: After Nordhoff scored its touchdown on a Johnsen run late in the fourth quarter, the entire team came off the bench to congratulate him. And trailing 62-8 with less than five minutes remaining, Nordhoff executed a successful onside kick, which led to the last of those fourth-down attempts.

An hour before Santa Paula's game with Grace Brethren, Cardinal fans had already packed the stands in anticipation of Friday night's game. It's been a few years since Santa Paula has had a chance to win an outright league title and it's evident by the buzz in the stands that fans and students are eager to see if their team can accomplish that goal. Regardless of what happens tonight, fans are excited about seeing their team compete in this year's CIF-SS playoffs.

The Ventura-Santa Barbara game has been moved to Saturday at 4 p.m. at Ventura High's Larrabee Stadium. It will be played before the Citrus Cup game between Ventura College and Moorpark College. Ventura High athletic director Dave Hess said Santa Barbara called and requested the game be moved because Santa Barbara's students were scattered because of the fire.

The St. Bonaventure game against San Marcos remains scheduled for 4:30 p.m. at Larrabee Stadium.

- Ventura High's Larrabee Stadium will likely be hosting a double-header tonight. The Star has only been able to confirm the early game - San Marcos vs. St. Bonaventure: 4:30 p.m. The time and location for the Ventura-Santa Barbara game hasn't been revealed yet.

- The Bishop Diego-Oak Park game has been canceled. Bishop Diego had too many players displaced by the fire.

Because of the fire in the Montecito area, the locations and times of football games involving Ventura County teams has changed. The Star will be updating the changes on our home page as well as the blog. Here is what we have confirmed.

Dos Pueblos at Buena: Junior Varsity, 4 p.m.. Varsity, 7 p.m.

Several of the county's star football players will be spending tomorrow night's regular-season finale on the sidelines in street clothes.

Santa Clara's Cierre Wood and Oaks Christian's Malcolm Jones will miss their games with injuries while St. Bonaventure's Patrick Hall could be held out for academic reasons.

Wood's injury could be season-ending, according to Santa Clara head coach Fran Fredette. Wood badly sprained his ankle near the end of Santa Clara's loss to Oaks Christian last Friday.

The Notre Dame-bound senior is limping badly and hasn't practiced all week in preparation for Carpinteria.

"It might keep him out the rest of the year," Fredette said. "He's always been a kid I though had remarkable recuperative power and would be healed up in a day or two. I have never seen him like this."

Jones suffered a slight shoulder separation in the third quarter of the same game. The junior is out for tonight's game against Nordhoff and doubtful for next week's playoff opener.

"Hopefully we can get him back for the quarterfinals," Oaks Christian head coach Bill Redell said. "We are going to need him. He's a pretty significant player."

Hall's parents requested to have him sit out last week's victory over Santa Barbara to attend to academic obligations.

The USC-bound senior has a heavy course load this season - seven regular classes plus two additional night classes - according to St. Bonaventure head coach Todd Therrien.

"It is kind of overwhelming for him," Therrien said. "We don't know yet if he will play this week."

Santa Clara's 49-6 loss to Oaks Christian - which snapped an 18-game winning streak - apparently took a mental toll as well as physical.

"It devastated the team. I've had only 50 percent attendance this week in practice," Fredette said.

For the fifth time in the last six years, the Pacific View League football title will be decided on the final week of the regular season.

For the first time in 20 years, the Hueneme High girls' volleyball team has qualified for the CIF playoffs.

For the fifth straight football season, Ventura enters the final week of the regular season with second place in the Channel League hanging in the balance.

For only the third time in 36 years, Santa Paula has won a league football title.

Here's how teams will wrap up the regular season next weekend:

Friday's games
- Agoura at Calabasas, 7 p.m.
- Westlake at Moorpark, 7 p.m.
- Thousand Oaks at Newbury Park, 7 p.m.

Former Thousand Oaks High star David Anderson scored his second and third NFL touchdowns in recent weeks. But it is his post-score dance moves that have been receiving the most attention:

Jim Benkert of Westlake and Cliff Farrar of Buena moved up one spot on the Ventura County all-time wins list for coaches.

With one game left on its regular-season schedule, the Fillmore High football program still has an outside shot of claiming a share of the Frontier League title.

Santa Paula shocked host Fillmore, 34-14, Friday night in a special rendition of the county's oldest rivalry. Derry Eads was there.

But Arellano, the Lions' punter, accomplished something else strange for a punter Friday night. He blocked a punt.
