Kicker Kai Forbath, 30, who grew up in the Highlands and starred at Notre Dame High in Sherman Oaks and then UCLA, made two field goals and all four of his extra-point tries for the host Vikings in their 34-17 win.

Conte, 28, a safety, who grew up in the El Medio Bluffs and starred at Loyola High and Cal, had four solo and two assisted tackles for the Buccaneers, giving him 16 solo and four assisted tackles along with a pass deflection in three games.
