""We never lost faith," said head coach Danny Jones. "If we look at the scores of games, we're battling our (butts) off. We knew the football team that we were and what we were capable of, and it's wonderful to be able to put it together and to see it for four quarters on both sides of the ball. "We have one game left in the season. If we win, we're in the playoffs. I feel so good about whatever bracket they want to put us in, whether that's the D2 or the D3 bracket. I feel like the schedule we've played all year long, we're hardened and we're battle-tested and we're a physical football team.""
"On a night where Duenas and UNLV commit Cole Goldsworthy returned from injury, the Dons' three-touchdown victory was a non-stop exhibition dynamic play after dynamic play. Duenas and Nehemia "Nemo" Fungula each had an interception. Ian Simpson recovered a muffed punt return by Monte Vista that led to a touchdown. The defense forced two fumbles and blocked a field goal attempt that led to another touchdown."
Amador Valley began the season missing five senior skill-position players to injuries and endured four straight losses with an average margin of defeat near eight points. The team regained key contributors, including Ismael Duenas and UNLV commit Cole Goldsworthy, and produced a 35-14 victory over Monte Vista on Halloween. The defense generated turnovers with interceptions, forced fumbles, a muffed punt recovery that led to a touchdown, and a blocked field-goal attempt that resulted in another score. Anthony Harrington recorded 215 receiving yards and two long touchdowns, leaving the team one win away from playoff qualification.
