More from FootballCierre Wood ran for 370 yards, six touchdowns and two conversions, including the game-winning score from 61 yards out with 43 seconds to play, as Santa Clara High pulled off a miracle victory over Bishop Diego, 42-41, in the game billed as "the Frontier League championship game."
On the night the junior broke Santa Clara's career and single-game rushing records, Wood carried the ball just 23 times, had a 54-yard reception, completed an 8-yard pass, punted twice and held Isaiah Miramonte's game-winning extra point.
Bishop Diego (7-2, 2-1) scored three touchdowns in little more than four minutes in the third quarter to build a 41-28 lead. Aaron Skinner had a 14-yard run, a 71-yard screen pass from Christian Winnewisser and Shane McCarthy returned a fumble 45 yards for a touchdown.
Winnewisser completed 16 of 32 passes for 272 yards and four touchdowns.
Wood rushed for 248 yards and four TDs as Santa Clara (5-1-1, 2-0) built a 28-14 lead in the second quarter. At one point in the second quarter, he had scored touchdowns of 34, 24 and 67 yards and two conversions on five consecutive carries.
