Following a bye week the Colton Yellowjackets beat Arroyo Valley last Friday night. Arroyo Valley High School and throttled the Hawks 35-8 for their first road victory of the season. They won this game with a balanced attack on both sides of the
ball. On offense, QB Gabriel Aparicio proved to be cool under pressure as he threw for five touchdowns. Over these past two
games, it is clear he is developing quite a strong chemistry with the Yellowjackets’ electric receivers Steven Medina, Bryce Martinez, and Xavier Sandoval. Football, cont. on next pg.
