Four quarters was not enough to determine a winner between two undefeated teams Friday as San Diego traveled to Rancho Bernardo\/<\/p>\n
Rancho Bernardo started with the ball in overtime and regained the lead, taking only two plays to find the end zone.\u00a0After Broncos wide receiver Tyson Wilcox dropped a pass, quarterback Gaige Weddle went right back to him, scampering into the endzone and leading the Broncos, after a defensive stop, to a 23-17 overtime win against the Cavers.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust focused on the next play,\u201d said Wilcox, whose game-winning touchdown was his first score on varsity. \u201cI wanted to run my route as hard as I could and Gaige could throw me the ball.\u201d<\/p>\n
RB\u2019s defense then held up for the victory.\u00a0After allowing a first down on a quarterback scramble from San Diego play caller Jayden Harris, Rancho Bernardo (5-0) got stops on third-and-1 and fourth-and-6 to remain undefeated.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe expected to play at a high level,\u201d said Broncos acting head coach Tristan McCoy, who filled in for Eric Weddle, who was\u00a0suspended Friday due to a sideline infraction by his assistant coaches\u00a0 during his team\u2019s 44-35 victory last week at West Covina. \u201cWe want to be very aggressive on defense, keep bringing pressure.\u201d<\/p>\n
San Diego (4-1) took advantage of a coaching mistake by McCoy. With 42 seconds left in the fourth quarter, leading by nine, McCoy sent out its punting unit on fourth down. Rather than punt, RB took a safety.<\/p>\n
A Broncos holding penalty assessed before the kickoff and a personal foul penalty during the kick gave the Cavers a chance with great field position.<\/p>\n
Beginning at the Rancho Bernardo 26-yard line, San Diego completed four plays in 20 seconds, capped off by a 10-yard touchdown pass from Jayden Harris to Kye Cooper, who totaled a team-high seven receptions for 42 yards.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe almost gave it to them,\u201d McCoy said. \u201cThe coaching error on my mistake, miscalculation of the time and overthinking it, put us in a bad spot. But our team rallied and came through when we needed them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Although the Broncos\u2019 defense lost its leading tackler in Gavin Valencia, the rest of the defense backed him up. Lucas Winkler stepped up, recording a sack on the opening drive and an interception to end the third quarter.<\/p>\n
\u201cLucas is a heck of a player,\u201d McCoy said. \u201cThey had a big screen game all week and he sensed it and got his big arms up in the way (for the interception).\u201d<\/p>\n
The interception came one offensive play after Broncos running back Max Marshall scored a 5-yard touchdown to give Rancho Bernardo its first lead at 10-7 with 1:28 in the third quarter.<\/p>\n
Gaige Weddle led the Broncos offense, completing 6-of-13 passes for 52 yards while adding 90 rushing yards for 142 total yards and a touchdown.<\/p>\n
The Cavers were led by Harris, who completed 17-27 passes for 119 yards with a passing touchdown, a rushing touchdown and an interception.<\/p>\n
Rancho Bernardo 23, San Diego 16<\/p>\n
