Last year’s “Battle for Pearl Street” was a one-sided affair, with La Jolla High School walloping The Bishop’s School 41-19.
Flash forward a year and the 2024 edition of the in-town rivalry had a similar result.
La Jolla came away with a 38-21 win at home Aug. 23 in the season opener for both teams as the Vikings seek a return trip to the CIF San Diego Section finals. Last season they lost the Division II championship game to Del Norte.
Meanwhile, the 2023 Division III champion La Jolla Country Day School Torreys got off to a fast start in 2024, routing Chula Vista at home 35-6.
Football is back as La Jolla teams try for repeat of last season’s success
La Jolla coach Tyler Roach was pleased with how the season opener went for his team.
“Anytime you can beat a rival, a crosstown one at that, it’s great, especially the first game of the season, to get this thing started off on the right track,” he said.
The offenses commanded the game early, with both conducting two-play scoring drives in their opening possessions.
The Bishop’s Knights, last year’s Coastal League champions, scored on a 12-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Cash Herrera to Ryan Landa. But that was soon answered by a 39-yard TD pass from La Jolla QB Hudson Smith to Hank Hansen.
Herrera, who missed last year’s game against La Jolla due to an injury, made his presence felt early and often. The junior was on point in the first half, connecting on three touchdown passes.
Fortunately for La Jolla, first-year starter Smith threw for three first-half TDs himself.
Smith and wide receiver Andre McLees Walker connected for a pair of first-half touchdowns that helped put La Jolla up 24-21 at halftime.
“What I saw from Hudson did not surprise me one bit,” Roach said. “He has been waiting for this moment for a long time. He waited in the wings last season [behind now-graduated Jackson Diehl] and was locked in tonight.”
“For Andre, he is a super-talented kid,” Roach added. “One of our starting wideouts had been sick all week and I didn’t know until 4 o’clock that he wasn’t going to play. So around 4:30, I told Andre [who also plays cornerback on defense] he would have to rock in both ways, and he stepped up big time.”
Though the offenses dominated the first half, ultimately the La Jolla defense — more specifically the secondary — turned the tide.
On the Knights’ second possession of the second half, safety Ryan Kestler jumped in front of a Herrera pass for an interception, setting up an eventual 1-yard scoring run by Smith.
One possession later, safety Carson Diehl, who led the La Jolla defense in interceptions last season, picked off another Herrera pass.
The Vikings forced four turnovers in all and shut out the Knights in the second half.
La Jolla Country Day 35, Chula Vista 6
The Torreys held Chula Vista senior quarterback Izaac Baca to 10 pass completions in 27 attempts for 83 yards and an interception and limited the Spartans to 52 yards rushing.

Accessory dwelling units coming to a Clairemont neighborhood
![Accessory dwelling units coming to a Clairemont neighborhood Accessory dwelling units coming to a Clairemont neighborhood](https://media.nbcsandiego.com/2024/08/Accessory-Dwelling-Units-coming-to-Clairemont-neighborhood-1.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&resize=1200%2C675)
A neighborhood in Clairemont that is made up primarily of duplexes is planning on building eight accessory dwelling units on the property.
NBC 7 assignment editor Lindsay Hood looked into and found that there were permits to build eight accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in the cul-de-sac. Three of them will be affordable housing units. Under the ADU Bonus Program, affordable ADUs are required. The duplex that was there before is still there as construction goes up around it.
A local investment firm purchased the lot where the units are being built. NBC 7 reached out but did not receive a call back.
NBC 7 also reached out to the city of San Diego’s Development Services Department (DSD) about this property and was told that neighbors can be assured that the project will comply with all applicable codes and regulations.
On Friday, you could see and hear the ongoing construction. Clairemont resident Kellie Johnson says it’s the biggest she’s seen in the neighborhood in the past decade, but she understands that sometimes change happens.
”It’s needed,” Johnson said. “And everybody I think is ‘not in my backyard,’ but it has to go in somebody’s backyard. I think if every community is taking on buildings like this then it should help.”
Maybe you’ve seen more of them popping up around town. The interest in adding ADUs to properties has been building.
According to the city of San Diego, nearly 1,000 permits have already been awarded this year, which is nearly the same amount as the number of applications. A spokesperson for the DSD told NBC 7 in an email that homeowners’ interest in ADUs is overwhelming and is the most requested service with the department’s virtual appointments and call center.
Lori Pfeiler, president and CEO of the Building Industry Association in San Diego, says while more units in the thousands need to be built to help alleviate that challenge, ADUs could help too.
”ADUs are probably not the solution. It’s going to help on the edges. It’s going to provide different types of opportunity at different typologies,” Pfeiler said.
Additional housing may come with more headaches for drivers trying to find a parking spot on an already crowded street.
”The fact that there’s already a major parking issue around here. We have a huge complex at the end on Cole Street, and a lot of people from that complex park here,” Johnson said, adding that the apartment complex does have parking units for tenants.
When it comes to facing the housing crisis, the city says every unit counts.
While eight ADUs go up in Clairemont, the DSD happened to be holding a meeting for community members on zoning and permitting on Friday in partnership with the Asian Business Association. It’s part of an outreach to educate the community on zoning and permitting as it relates to their properties. More details on the DSD and future events can be found here.

Padres reinstate RHP Darvish from restricted list
![Padres reinstate RHP Darvish from restricted list Padres reinstate RHP Darvish from restricted list](https://a1.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2024%2F0520%2Fr1335329_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg)
Right-hander Yu Darvish was reinstated by the San Diego Padres on Friday.
Darvish was placed on the restricted list in early July, with the team saying at the time that he was dealing with a personal matter involving his family.
The Padres said he was joining the team in San Diego on Friday, when they were scheduled to take on the New York Mets. For now, he’s been added back to the 15-day injured list, and the Padres did not say when he’ll be ready to pitch.
Darvish, 38, is 4-3 with a 3.20 ERA in 11 starts this season.
He spent time on the injured list earlier this year with a groin strain.
To make room on the 40-man roster, infielder Matthew Batten was designated for assignment.
