Menlo-Atherton and Gunn remained undefeated in their respective football leagues and Palo Alto made it two in a row with a win on the road.

M-A received an unexpected home game and took advantage, beating Terra Nova, 50-7, in a Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division game originally scheduled for Pacifica.

The Bears (4-0) scored all its points in the first half of a 50-7 victory over the Tigers (1-3).

M-A is scheduled to remain at home for its season finale against The King’s Academy on Friday night.

Raymond Price III had his best game as a member of the Bears, rushing for a pair of touchdowns, including on a 74-yard run, and passing for another. Price threw a 27-yard scoring strike to Jayden Stanley.

Jeremiah Earby showed his worth on both sides of the ball. He caught a 70-yard pass from Matt MacLeod and then returned an interception 51 yards for M-A’s final score.

Michael McNack also scored for the Bears, who earned a two-point safety on a blocked punt that Terra Nova recovered in the end zone.

M-A’s Johnny Barbie also recorded an interception and Sam Morales recovered a fumble. Keyshawn Avila, Leki Tautua’a and Falepouono Mosley each recorded a sack.

Gunn was driving for yet another touchdown late in its 55-21 Santa Clara Valley Athletic League El Camino Division victory over visiting Los Altos but decided to take a knee at the Eagles’ two-yard line to end the game.

The Titans (4-0) were a threat to score from anywhere on the field. Richard Jackson IV scored four touchdowns, including on runs of 5, 15 and 87 yards. Cory Hallada scored three times on runs of 10, 2 and 31 yards.

Kevin Green added a 19-yard scoring run. Jackson also recorded seven tackles on defense.

Gunn, ranked 23rd in the Central Coast Section by MaxPreps, finish the season on the road next Saturday night at Cupertino.

After a slow start, Palo Alto ramped it up as Josh Butler scored four touchdowns in Friday night’s 43-10 SCVAL De Anza Division victory over host Santa Clara.

The CCS-ranked No. 20 Vikings (2-2) finish their season at Los Gatos on Friday night.

  1. Gunn is #23 in the CCS; Paly is #20 and playing in a harder division. If Gunn beats Cupertino next week to finish 5-0, they might finish ahead of Paly for the first time since 1971.

  2. Congratulations to the Gunn Titans and to the Coaching Staff for working so hard to turn the program around! These kids have worked so hard. GO BIG RED!
