In a rare Thursday night meeting, the No. 6 Helix Highlanders (2-0) earned a decisive 52-0 win over the Otay Ranch Mustangs (0-2) in their first home game of the season. Junior quarterback Ryland Jesse continued his outstanding start to the season by adding four touchdown passes to his total, giving him eight on the season. Seniors Quincy Herron and Adren Parker had two receiving scores each, while junior Jackson Daniels recorded three interceptions, including a 55-yard pick-six.

After the game, we spoke with first-year Helix head coach Damaja Jones about his first win at home, the team's transition from being run-oriented to having current success in the passing game, and more.
