San Diego County’s top-ranked high school football team, the Mission Hills High School Grizzlies, did their thing Friday night overwhelming an undermanned Vista High School squad 47-21 at Mission Hills. One more victory and the Grizzlies will be undefeated going into the playoffs.

Mission Hills star running back Nehemiah McFarlin rumbled to scores on his second, fourth and fifth carries on the night. Touchdown runs were 26 yards, one yard and 63 yards respectively.

That was all she wrote as Coach Chris Hauser rested his star asset after the first quarter during which the Grizzlies charged to a 19-0 lead as they blew out the visiting Vista Panthers.

The Grizzlies tacked on three second-period touchdowns, all of them the result of Vista fumbles.

The third score coming on Elija Bulls’ 34-yard fumble return. That touchdown pushed the lead to 40-0.
