JANN HENDRY/Acorn NewspaperSUPER SOPHOMORE—Westlake High quarterback Nick Isham continues to play well in place of injured senior Ben Conlin. Outlook: Thousand Oaks continued its hot start at Agoura in Week 5.
The Chargers were run over by John Lister and Co. to the tune of a 38-14 final score. Lister, T.O.'s talented senior tailback, had 144 yards on 16 carries vs. Agoura.
Lister has run for 964 yards this season and is averaging 9.7 yards per carry. He's closing in on program's all-time leading rusher, Marc Monestime.
Calabasas struggled against Westlake last weekend, losing 4921 at home. The Coyotes have allowed 90 points in two league contests. Calabasas' lone win on the year came against Hueneme.
A lot of Lancers should get playing time in this matchup.
