Alexander Villanueva rushes for 297, breaks the San Diego Section record of 2,974 set by Mission Bay’s Dillon Baxter in 2009
Monte Vista’s Alexander Villanueva runs the ball against Bonita Vista’s Koko Sanchez-Napoleon and Emiliano Ituarte during the CIF San Diego Section Division 5 football championship game at Southwestern College on Saturday, Nov. 30, 2024 in Chula Vista, CA. CHULA VISTA — The No. 1 goal, Alexander Villanueva said, was to win the championship.
The 297 yards put his single-season mark at 3,006 yards, breaking the San Diego Section record of 2,974 set by Mission Bay’s Dillon Baxter in 2009. “Who called that play?” said Monte Vista coach Ron Hamamoto. “Honestly, Alexander is such a good kid. The players love him. The staff loves him. We’re fortunate to have him.”
“What a great back we have,” Vasquez said. “We know if we do our job, he’ll get four, five, six yards or more.”“That’s our terminology for a sweep,” Vasquez said. “And it was there all game.” “We were the last team in the playoffs, the underdog every game,” Villanueva said. “So for us to win it, and for me to get the record, means so much.”
