LOWER LAKE — Lower Lake High School quarterback and defensive back Isazah King had a game he”ll remember the rest of his life on Friday night in Lower Lake where the Trojans blanked the Willits Wolverines 49-0 in North Central League I varsity football action.
King rushed for 59 yards, three touchdowns and a two-point conversion, passed for 138 yards and a two-point conversion, returned an interception 98 yards for a score, and a punt 80 yards for another touchdown as the Trojans won their first league game at the expense of the winless Wolverines (0-5, 0-8). He finished the night with two interceptions and a fumble recovery.
“As amazing as he was statistically, the biggest thing he did was be a leader,” Lower Lake coach Justin Gaddy said. “He stepped up as a leader. All of my captains did.”
Erick Moreno added 135 yards rushing and two touchdowns as Lower Lake snapped a four-game losing streak. Brenden Maninger had five catches for 131 yards.
Lower Lake”s defense notched its first shutout of the season, forcing three turnovers and coming up with two sacks.
