High emotions fuel defensive battle at East-West All-Star game

FINAL GO—(Clockwise from top right): Thousand Oaks’ prolific running back Jack Boger gives the local fans one more show.

Oaks Christian big man Scott Maddox (No. 56) lines up in the trenches. East wide receiver Michael Toepfer of Newbury Park makes a diving catch on the pass from Smits. Lancers’ AllMarmonte League receiver Jon Hall prepares to make a move in the open field. Despite a plethora of talent on both sides of the ball, the East failed to score a point in this heated contest between county foes. Ventura running back Peter Duran was named the game’s most valuable player.
