Playoff pairings for flag football and girls’ volleyball will be released on Friday and Saturday, respectively. Many fall sports teams gave updates on their seasons for the final time at Monday’s SBART press luncheon.
Lila Westmacott of San Marcos High girls’ volleyball and Peyton Sperling of San Marcos flag football shared SBART Athlete of the Week honors on the girls’ side. Aaron Baizan of Santa Barbara High football was the male honoree.
Baizan spearheaded a dominant Santa Barbara High rushing attack with 96 yards on nine carries and a touchdown. He also added six tackles, one tackle for loss, and two quarterback hurries on defense as the Dons defeated Rio Mesa 45-13.
In girls’ volleyball, San Marcos has dominated Channel League competition, and Westmacott has been a driving force, distributing the ball to a long list of quality hitters. She eclipsed 30 assists in victories over Santa Barbara High and Ventura, clinching the outright Channel League title.
In flag football, the Royals have compiled a 21-3 overall record and are eagerly awaiting their playoff pairing. Sperling has been a key contributor for San Marcos on both sides of the ball. She racked up 68 total yards with a touchdown and an interception against Rio Mesa, added 77 total yards with three touchdowns and an interception against rival Santa Barbara, and finished off her week with 92 total yards and two touchdowns in a 41-25 win over Ventura.
