Carson High football finds bright spots against Bishop Manogue The Senators, despite falling 42-0 on Friday against the defending regional champion Bishop Manogue, stayed loud throughout the evening and had a few flashes of brilliance. After falling behind 14-0, the Senators went three-and-out, but got a quality roll on the ensuing punt leaving Bishop Manogue on its own 14. After a first down run by the Miners, Ben Heaton popped a Bishop Manogue runner trying to go up the middle. Carson pushed the Miners to fourth-and-5 and sniffed out a fake punt, resulting in the Senators getting possession in Bishop Manogue territory. Quarterback Vinnie Ferretti and the Carson offense got the ball down to the 24, but a screen pass on fourth down that didn't get to the sticks stalled the drive. Ferretti had several rollout completions on the night, finishing the contest 8-of-11 with 83 yards through the air. Ferretti’s favorite target, DeCarlo Quintana, pulled down seven of those eight completions. Though the Senator offense couldn’t find pay dirt against a stout Miner defense, Carson was able to move the ball, adding 80 more yards on the ground. Out of halftime, Carson put together a nine-play drive that covered nearly half the field. “I don’t know if I’ve ever had a senior class like this, that is so selfless and motivated to help us build something for next year,” Roman said. “The score was 42-0 and rarely do you come out of a game like that happy as a head coach, but I am.” You can find the full recap from Friday night's contest here. UP NEXT: Carson (0-2) will travel to Galena (0-3) as both programs aim for their first wins of the season.

Carrillo’s shot clipped the post from about 35 yards out and found its way into the back of the net. “I’m very happy with the way we played. … I’m very pleased with our defensive improvement and not allowing any goals,” said Carson High head coach Frank Martinez. “This sets us up for a good run at the playoffs, especially with three home games left.” UP NEXT: Carson (3-2) will finish the regular season on its home turf, starting Wednesday evening at 6:45 p.m. against Damonte Ranch (0-2).
