SIMI VALLEY — On a chilly, foggy Friday evening at Simi Valley High School, the offense for both the Simi Valley and Notre Dame football teams was anything but.
The Pioneers turned up the heat quickly, scoring a touchdown on its opening possession courtesy of a 7-yard run by Brice Hawkins.
The senior running back added two more rushing touchdowns in the first half to pace Simi Valley on its way to a 49-47 victory over Notre Dame in the opening round of the CIF Southern Section Division 3 playoffs.
