In a historic North Coast Section Division 1 quarterfinal, No. 6 seed Acalanes secured a 70-54 victory over No. 3 Pittsburg.
The matchup featured a combined 1,200 yards of offense and 18 total touchdowns, according to Yahoo Sports.
Dons senior quarterback Tyler Winkles delivered a standout performance, recording 471 passing yards and 136 rushing yards.
His 607 total yards set a new North Coast Section record for a quarterback who also rushed for at least 100 yards in a single game, per Cal-Hi Sports.
Winkles, who has committed to play baseball at Washington State, remains without a football scholarship offer, reported the Bay Area News Group.
Acalanes head coach Joel Isaac expressed frustration regarding the lack of collegiate football interest in his signal-caller.
“The baffling part is every college in the nation not offering him,” Isaac told the Bay Area News Group.
He added that Winkles is consistently the best athlete on the field during every game.
The victory marks a significant shift in the regional landscape, as it ended Pittsburg’s five-year reign as the NCS Division I champion.
It also represents the first time the Pirates have lost a playoff game to a program other than De La Salle since 2016, noted SFGATE.
Despite the high-profile defensive talent on the opposing sideline, including Fresno State commit Terrance Murphy, Winkles remained composed throughout the contest.
“All the other people are going to think it’s an upset, but we knew,” the quarterback stated after the win.
Acalanes is now set to advance to the Division I semifinals for the second consecutive year.
The team will face No. 4-seeded San Ramon Valley next Friday.
