El Camino Real High was without its best running back Friday, but that didn’t stop the Conquistadores from running past Kennedy.
With Quincy Wright sidelined because of a bruised knee, El Camino Real turned to Jared Maiden.
Maiden responded by rushing for 214 yards and a touchdown in 28 carries and the Conquistadores held on for a 22-14 Northwest Valley Conference victory at El Camino Real.
El Camino Real, ranked No. 8 in the City Section by The Times, also got an outstanding performance from wide receiver Demond Daniels, who had five receptions for 124 yards, including a 32-yard touchdown catch.
The Conquistadores improved to 5-1 overall, 2-1 in conference play.
Kennedy, led by running back Jason Jones with 80 yards, including scoring runs of one and 24 yards, fell to 4-2, 2-1.
