Friday night, in a 68-20 Compton victory, both teams continued down the paths they&#8217;ve been traveling all season, as Compton had another 400-yard plus game, and Cabrillo lost big yet again.<\/p>\n<p>Curry Williams, the Compton Tarbabes&#8217; starting running back, posted 77 yards on 5 carries, and a touchdown.&nbsp; But the story of the night was junior James McConico, a mid-sized slippery speedster who reminds a lot of fans of Curry Williams last season, when he was backing up Donald Green.&nbsp; Against Cabrillo, McConico ran for 188 yards and three touchdowns&hellip;on five carries!&nbsp; The ridiculous average of 37 yards a carry pulls his season average up to nearly 30 yards every time he touches the ball.&nbsp; Did I mention that McConico is a junior?<\/p>\n<p>If there&#8217;s a downside to Compton&#8217;s dazzling performances thus far, it&#8217;s that they haven&#8217;t done it against the kind of quality competition that teams like Poly and Cabrillo schedule for their nonleague matches.&nbsp; Through the first four games of the year, Compton&#8217;s opponents (all of whom have been pretty soundly defeated by the Tarbabes) are just a combined 1-16.&nbsp; That&#8217;s not the kind of competition they&#8217;ll face in defenses like Jordan and Poly.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>For Cabrillo, it was another rough night, although they can take a small measure of solace in the fact that they hung tough for the opening period, as the score was tied 6-6 at the end of the first quarter.&nbsp; After that, Compton&#8217;s defense effectively shut down the Jaguars, notching seven sacks and two interceptions.&nbsp; Cabrillo now falls to 0-5 on the season, while Compton rises to 4-0, tied with Poly at the top of the Moore League.&nbsp; Next week the Tarbabes bring their potent running game to Wilson, where they&#8217;ll take on the Bruins (who beat Millikan in a tight contest tonight).&nbsp; The Jaguars will continue their tough schedule as they face Lakewood on the road, going against a strong Lancers team that will be looking to get their confidence back up after a loss to Poly.<\/p>\n<p><style type=\"text\/css\">body {  \tbackground: #FFF;
