vs. Coronado (CA), 2009 CIF-San Diego section division IV quarterfinal, at San Diego High (CA)

Comments: Baxter broke the state record for TD (passing & rushing) scored in a season with 76, points scored in a season (481) and points scored in a career (919). Also the San Diego section season record for rushing yards with 2,974 yards. Baxter played QB for Mission Bay partly by default but also because you always want Baxter to touch the ball as much as possible. In one highlight Baxter escapes from a tackler but the referee calls a sack (in the grasp) thinking Baxter was tackled. A man among boys.
