The Mission Bay High School Buccaneers beat the University City Centurions at University City in an overwhelming victory 42-15 on Nov. 13, sealing up Mission Bay’s 10-0 regular season play going into the CIF playoffs as a top contender come late November. The top-seeded Bucs have a bye in the first week of the Division IV playoffs, and will play the winner of the Coronado High-Escondido Charter High contest in a game scheduled for Nov. 27. As the team walked off the field Friday, here is what a few of the players and defensive coordinator Mel Galli thought about their season, future plans and their most memorable moments for Mission Bay High School football. Michael Ray Duran, age 17, junior What did you learn on the field that you may not have learned in the classroom? “Honestly, I think it’s just how to present myself on the football field. Not so much to talk trash but just doing it with my skills.” Most exciting moment during the season? “When we beat Lincoln High School. It was just a great experience. We hadn’t beaten them in a while.” Andres Orozco, age 16, junior Lessons on and off the field: “(I learned) discipline, work as a team and self-respect.” Future plans: “I would like to go to (California State University) Fresno.” Memorable season moment: “Right now, going 10 and 0, and we’re about to go win CIF championships. It feels great.” Jesus Diaz, age 17, senior Future plans: “I’m planning on going to Southwestern College. I plan on studying law enforcement.” On going 10-0 during the regular season: “It’s a feeling you can’t really explain. Unbelievable.” Memorable moment: “My teammates, us creating a bond together, looking after each other. Really it’s just my teammates.” Dominique Peirson, age 18, senior From North Carolina, it’s Dominique’s first year playing with Mission Bay. What’s it like? “It’s different. I’m from North Carolina so, it’s a lot more fast-paced, a lot more skills. There’s a lot more teamwork and not a lot of people that just stand out but work(ing) as a unit.” On being 10-0: “It feels amazing, to have a perfect season. That hasn’t been done in a while.” Memorable game moments: “The Lincoln game because they were with us the whole time. Actually, they had the lead the whole time. They were the team that gave us the biggest run. The closest games.” Future Plans: “I want to go to a four year college. I’ll major in a science. If I don’t get any scholarships, I plan on being a walk-on to whatever school I attend.” What lessons did you learn on and off the field this season? “Technique, teamwork and a positive attitude.” Tyson Kane, age 18, senior What did you learn on the field that you can apply in real life? “You can’t be successful unless you work hard every second. You have to go hard all the time or you don’t succeed in this world.” Future plans: “Hopefully, I go to San Diego State.” Mel Galli, defensive coordinator As a coach, what can your student athletes take away from the game in the end? “I think (to) work hard everyday to achieve success.”
