On a night when Peoria Centennial lost its tailback to an injury and its star offensive player having an off game, the defense made plays all over the field.
Peoria Centennial coach Andrew Taylor wondered if the seven takeaways, four by safety Nate Olmos, was a single-game school record in its 27-3 6A football victory against visiting Mesa Mountain View on Friday, Sept. 11.
It was impressive, especially Olmos, who kept finding himself in the right spot.
A strip sack fumble on quarterback Brayden Merwin led to Olmos scooping up the ball and running 21 yards into the end zone to give fifth-ranked Centennial (3-0) a 27-3 lead with 4:43 left in the third quarter.
