Prep football roundup: Wilcox beats SHP, Berkeley edges Hayward in OT
Saturday’s Bay Area high school football: Tyson Bonilla runs for a TD, passes for one to lead Wilcox. Cahlil Snead catches winner for Berkeley.
No. 10 Wilcox defeated No. 24 Sacred Heart Prep 28-21.
Tyson Bonilla scored on a 38-yard run late in the fourth quarter to break a tie and lead visiting Wilcox to a Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division victory over Sacred Heart Prep on Saturday.
The result sets up a league championship game between Wilcox and Los Gatos on Friday night.
They are the only teams in the Bay to have never lost a league game.
Wilcox had to come from behind to defeat Sacred Heart Prep, which led 7-0 in the first quarter, 14-7 in the second, and 21-14 in the third.
With four minutes remaining in the third period, Bonilla’s 8-yard pass to Maulidi Saleh tied the game at 21-21.
Wilcox’s other touchdowns came from Jamontay Amataga’s 14-yard run and Saleh’s 3-yard run.
Saleh also had a pass intercepted, and Romeo Castillo was dominant on Wilcox’s defensive line.
SHP scored on a 6-yard run by Jack Stevens and 21- and 29-yard passes to Charlie Stuart by Jack Scully.
Wilcox’s record now stands at 6-2, 4-0.
SHP dropped to 4-4, 2-2 after losing to Mountain View on Saturday.

In overtime, Cahlil Snead caught the game-winning touchdown pass from Deontae Faison, giving Berkeley sole possession of first place in the MVAL/WACC Mission Division.
Faison, who started for McClymonds last season, threw for 225 yards and four touchdowns, while Dailen Clark, Dash Guerreiro Ramos, and Jalen Harris all caught touchdown passes and Kamren Bell ran for one.
Senior Kennedy Braziel threw two touchdown passes for Hayward. Emmanuel Sega, his top target, had six catches for 108 yards and a 75-yard touchdown reception. Maurice Hall rushed for 102 yards and two touchdowns, while Braziel and Eusebio Goncalves each had one.
“It was a fantastic game.” “We just fell short,” Hayward coach Virgil Hart explained.
On Saturday, Hayward (5-3, 2-1) will face Irvington at Tak Fudenna Stadium in Fremont. On Friday, Berkeley (5-3, 3-0) will travel to Mt. Eden.

Bethel 0 – 34 Salesian
With four touchdowns in the second half, Salesian broke open a 7-0 defensive struggle.
The Pride won its seventh game in a row thanks to touchdown receptions from Carlton Perrilliat and Marco Turqueza.
Salesian is 3-0 in the TCAL Rock, but it still has to play El Cerrito on Nov. 4 in a game that will most likely decide the division championship.
Even if Salesian loses, it should be seeded in the top four of the Division VI North Coast Section playoffs.
