BALBOA STADIUM–Mission Bay senior quarterback Dillon Baxter was willing to do anything and everything to get his Bucs to the Division IV finals.  Santa Fe Christian’s senior running back Sam Hoekstra felt the same way.

The two stars put on a dizzying display of yardage and points at old Balboa Stadium, but in the end it was Mission Bay (12-0) standing on top by a 58-42 score, earning a trip to Southwestern College next Saturday night to battle defending champ Valley Center for the D-IV title.

In a game that featured 14 combined touchdowns, 1,072 yards of total combined offense and zero punts, Dillon Baxter filled up the box score as few have done before.  The USC-bound senior quarterback threw for 271 yards (13/16 passing) and two touchdowns, ran 32 times for 177 yards, three TDs and a pair of two-point conversions, and even caught a 27-yard touchdown pass.  For good measure, Baxter added an interception on defense, and his presence as a kick returning threat led Santa Fe Christian to pooch or squib-kick every kickoff, leading to tremendous field position for Mission Bay.

The Dillon Baxter show made a live appearance at Point Loma High School Friday Night.   But to the dismay of many Pointers fans, the episode was about the stud Mission Bay QB feasting on the Point Loma defense.

In the Western League opener, Baxter and the 9th ranked Mission Bay Buccaneers (6-0; 1-0) overwhelmed the Point Loma Pointers (3-3; 0-1) 49-27.

Whether running it up the gut or tossing quick bubble screens, Baxter was simply unstoppable.  He accounted for six of the seven total TDs scored by the Buccaneers and had over 300 all-purpose yards.
