Wedemeyer all-star football game, story & photos: South shuts out North in a windy downpour
LOS GATOS — The 48th edition of the Charlie Wedemeyer all-star football game, in which seniors from Santa Clara County schools competed on a high school field one last time, was the epitome of a defensive struggle.
Despite the miserable weather, hundreds came out to support the participants at Los Gatos High, where Wedemeyer coached for years. On one play, Del Mar’s Josh Villareal sacked the quarterback. In the second half, South defensive back Josh Reyes of Santa Teresa knocked away a pass that seemed destined for a 30-yard completion. On one of many special teams plays, Pioneer’s Ryan Given blocked a punt.
Once Christopher kicker Alan Canales nailed a 22-yard field goal to make it 9-0 midway through the second period, Togia’i and his teammates’ confidence was high, with his opponent completing only three passes for 14 yards all night.There were five possessions that began and ended in the third quarter. There were more punts than yards gained .After Catano’s touchdown, neither team had a drive longer than seven plays and 25 yards.
“From our freshman year, we learn about Charlie and his story,” Los Gatos offensive lineman Will Cohen said. “To be invited out to play, it’s just truly an honor.”
