2013, Week 9: San Pasqual Ousts Mission Hills
San Pasqual this week became the third North County team to occupy the number one position in the weekly UT-San Diego football poll. The Eagles surprised Mission Hills, 13-10, in overtime, knocking out the Grizzlies, who had climbed to No. 1 in Week 7 after kayoing Oceanside, which had resided in first since the preseason […]

There was no change from 1-10 in the UT-San Diego’s Top 10 as several teams enjoyed a Week 6 bye. San Diego Section teams begin the turn for home and the postseason with league play beginning this week. Sometimes it pays to take that busman’s holiday.
