Football:
It wasn’t a thing of beauty.
But the results were.
Northview shut out their hosts from Baldwin Park, 28-0, on Thursday night.
It secured a perfect 10-0 regular season, and a fourth consecutive Valle Vista League championship.
It was also the Vikings’ fourth shutout of the season.
The NHS defense has allowed just 71 points through week 10, and that is far and away the best among the 30 football programs this site covers.
Baldwin Park had a couple of drives in the red zone, but they were unable to get on the scoreboard for a number of reasons.
Isaiah Lucero and Cory Gutierrez picked Jake Garcia passes.
Keanu Tauvao continued his torrid pace in 2024.
The Vikings senior rushed for 174 yards.
That included TD runs of 3, 11 and 8 yards.
Tauvao now had 1,433 yards rushing and 20 TDs.
The stats would be even greater, but Tauvao sat out the Village Christian game in week six.
Matthew Gonzalez sprinted into the west end zone for a 42-yard TD in the third quarter.
Erik Jimenez remains a steady steward behind center for NHS.
Jimenez only attempted 12 passes, completing seven for 64 yards.
NHS’ 10-0 regular season is its best since 2018.
Up next: The Vikings get their playoff opponent on Sunday morning at 10.
