San Marcos Sports Roundup: Mission Hills Keeps Rolling as Knights Stack Up Wins

A five-game flag football winning streak leads another busy week of high school sports around San Marcos.

Mission Hills girls flag football is turning a strong start into something considerably more interesting.

 

Meanwhile, San Marcos athletes added victories on the volleyball court and field hockey turf as teams around the city continue moving deeper into their fall schedules.

 

Five Straight for Mission Hills Flag Football

 

Make it five in a row for the Grizzlies.

 

Mission Hills defeated La Costa Canyon 18–14, improving to 10–2 and extending its winning streak to five games.

 

The streak has included wins over Granite Hills, Westview twice, Oceanside and now La Costa Canyon.

 

Quarterback Kenzie Del Gatto delivered a huge performance against LCC, throwing for 328 yards and three touchdowns.

 

Kenley Imoto was one of her primary targets, finishing with 155 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

 

Faith Malufau contributed on both sides of the ball, recording her first interception while also producing 64 receiving yards.

 

Mission Hills' JV team fell to La Costa Canyon 14–7.

 

San Marcos Volleyball Wins Again

 

The Knights are building a streak of their own.

 

San Marcos defeated The Bishop's School 3–1, giving the Knights their third consecutive victory.

 

The latest result continues a nice stretch for a San Marcos volleyball team finding momentum as the season progresses.

 

Three straight deserves some attention.

 

Knights Field Hockey Earns Shutout

 

San Marcos field hockey also landed in the win column with a 2–0 victory over Cathedral Catholic.

 

The Knights celebrated the varsity victory following the match, adding another San Marcos result to an already productive week for the school's fall sports programs.

 

Between volleyball and field hockey, there was plenty for Knights fans to celebrate.

 

Christian School Check-In

 

North Valley Flare also checks the local Christian-school programs when compiling the weekly San Marcos roundup.

 

Current results for St. Joseph Academy have been limited through the usual public reporting sources this week, so rather than publish scores we cannot confidently verify, we'll catch up with the Crusaders when confirmed results are available.
