The Fillmore Flashes capped off an incredible regular season home schedule with a hard-fought 24-17 victory over Dos Pueblos Friday night, completing an undefeated home slate and improving to 8-1 on the year. The win also clinches a playoff berth for the Bolts — their fourth postseason appearance in the last five years — as the Flashes continue to build on one of the most successful stretches in program history.
Senior running back Jasiah Patterson was electric once again, rumbling for over 200 yards on the ground and a touchdown. Patterson now ranks second in the county and 12th in the entire CIF Southern Section in rushing yards — a testament to his consistency and the dominance of Fillmore’s offensive line led by Senior Genaro Villela and bolstered by Juniors Landyn Long, Brandon Lane, and Valentin Garcia, with the added power of Sophomore David Tello.
The Fillmore defense was relentless, forcing three turnovers to swing the game’s momentum. Seniors Emiliano Castanon and Mauricio Ocegueda each snagged interceptions, while senior defensive end Marcus Lechuga forced a fumble for the third straight game. On special teams, senior standout and leader Isaac Rivera made a game-changing play — forcing a huge fumble on the opening kickoff of the second half, energizing the Flashes to storm out to a 24-0 lead within the first four minutes of the third quarter.
Junior quarterback Nate Perez continues to display poise and leadership, efficiently guiding the offense. Senior Carlos Cabral added a powerful rushing score, helping seal the win and keeping the Flashes’ home record spotless. Senior Thomas Alamillo added to his impressive resume as a Swiss army knife athlete by throwing a touchdown pass to Junior Saul Fraga who caught his 5th TD through the air.
With momentum and confidence on their side, the Flashes now turn their focus to one of the most anticipated games of the year — The Fillmore vs. Santa Paula rivalry game.
