The Pirate football team pulled away from Moorpark Saturday, scoring 20 unanswered points in the second half in their 37-12 victory in the 56th Citrus Cup game. Cornerback Ty Morris and running back Jake Murphy both had outstanding games defensively and offensively, respectively.
Morris, a redshirt freshman from Buena High School, recorded three tackles, one solo, while recovering a fumble and forcing another. He had an excellent performance on the outside of the defense while the Moorpark offense targeted his side numerous times throughout the game.
Murphy, also a former Buena Bulldog, had a season-best 155 yards rushing on 23 carries. The sophomore averaged 6.7 yards per rush and scored one touchdown in the Pirates' 16th straight win over the Raiders.
For their efforts, Ty and Jake are this week's VC Pirate Student Athletes of the Week sponsored by M & M Sports.
