The 2012 version of the South Oxnard rivalry would determine whether it was Channel Islands or Hueneme Vikings that ended its season with its first and only Pacific View League win.
Channel Islands came out the winner, as running back Richard Gray returned to action after being out for about a month and rushed the ball 23 times for 158 yards to lead a 24-20 win over visiting Hueneme.
“For him to come in and just dominate the game, as far as helping us maintain the ball the whole game, was very nice,” Channel Islands head coach Gary Porter said of Gray’s effort.
The Raiders also made some big plays throughout the game, such as a 71-yard touchdown pass from Ricky Estrada to Paul Vasquez and a 58-yard touchdown run by Aoese Oto in the fourth quarter.
