The Pirate football team moved to within one win of becoming bowl eligible for the third straight year Saturday, defeating Hancock 28-20. VC was led by freshman running back Aaron Stanton, who carried the ball 25 times for 238 yards and a pair of touchdowns. The Moorpark High School graduate broke an 85-yard touchdown run on the first play from scrimmage, and rushed 12 times in 14 plays on VC's 90-yard game clinching scoring drive in the fourth quarter, including a 12-yard touchdown scamper. Stanton is this week's VC Pirate Student Athlete of the Week sponsored by Pacific Aire Heating and Cooling.
