Costa Football Highlights!
The Mustangs came up short against Palos Verdes in a hard fought battle marred by turnovers that limited Costa’s scoring. Trailing 15-9 mid-way through the fourth quarter, the Mustangs were still looking for the win before a slew of turnovers sealed their fate and a 34-9 loss.
Costa took no time rebounding against a tough Peninsula team at home, jumping out to a 14-0 lead at half led by a suffocating defense and scoring strikes from junior quarterback Sam Whitney to sophomore Kayle Marsh and senior Jackson Fischer.
