Seaside-Monterey football

 Keishawn Robinson was having flashbacks. All week he had visions of scoring touchdowns for Seaside.
 "This feels like my dream,'' the senior tailback said.
 With one difference.
 "I didn't see myself scoring five touchdowns,'' Robinson said.
 Nor did he envision rushing for a career high 279 yards Saturday as the Spartans wrapped up the Pacific Division title with a 44-16 win over Monterey in the Battle of the Bay.
 "Today we put it all together,'' said Robinson, who has rushed for over 1,000 yards in each of the last two seasons for Seaside.
 The Spartans, who are going back to the playoffs after a two-year absence, will be seeded in the top  four Sunday at the Central Coast Section Division V seeding meeting in San Jose.
 It's possible that Seaside (9-1) could host Scotts Valley in the first round in what could be looked at as a redemption game.
 The Spartans only setback this year was a 24-22 loss to Scotts Valley at Seaside.
 "We're not the same team we were back then,'' Seaside coach Al Avila said. "We've been hit hard by injuries. We're trying to get back to that level.''
 At times, the Spartans have missed eight starters in their lineup. Four were back Saturday against Monterey, as was the emotion of playing against their biggest rivals.
 "One of the biggest obstacles in the past for us has been avoiding a letdown after a rivalry game,''  Avila said. "It's bit us in the shorts in the past. If I had the answer, we wouldn't be talking about it.''
 And while Saturday's game was one-sided, emotionally the Spartans looked spent, particularly after it held up a 50 plus year tradition of running up a steep, sandy hill after beating Monterey.
 "I can't do that any more,'' Avila laughed.
 The Spartans will go into the postseason riding a six-game winning streak after going undefeated in the Pacific Division.
 "We have to get back to work,'' Avila said. "We're going to have our work cut out for us. But it was nice to see the kids put together a complete game. It's been a struggle lately.''
 At least offensively and defensively as the Spartans opened the game with an 85-yard touchdown run by Robinson.
 On its first defensive series, linebacker Tristian Beza was in the Monterey backfield to make a tackle for a loss.
 "We didn't get off the bus,'' Monterey coach Dan Brown said.
 The Toreadores first four plays resulted in minus yards. They were held to minus 16 yards in the first quarter and 1-yard in the first half.
 "It's crazy. We're champions,'' Seaside quarterback/safety Malik Jeter said. "We came out strong and fast and maintained it the entire game.''
 Jeter, who has scholarship offers on the table from Sacramento State and the University of Hawaii, completed 7-of-8 passes while dishing out some filthy hits on defense.
 "I'm not worried about us having a letdown for the postseason,'' Jeter said. "None of us have been there. That should be incentive enough.''
 Robinson put on a show offensively for the Spartans. In addition to his 85 yard run, he bolted 80 yards and 60 yards for touchdowns, the last coming out of the 'Wildcat' formation.
 "We've use it once in a while,'' said Robinson, who also had 69 yards on three receptions.
 Robinson, who had 196 rushing yards and four touchdowns in the first half, combined for 348 yards on 17 touches, adding touchdown runs of eight and 10 yards. He also had a touchdown called back.
 "We had three touchdowns called back on penalties,'' Avila said. "We have to clean that up.''
 Elijah Robinson and Beza added touchdown runs for Seaside, as the 44 points was a season high.
 Had Seaside not missed seven straight extra point or two-point conversion attempts, there would have been a running clock in the fourth quarter.
 "That's something we have to get straight real soon,'' Avila said. "You can't be making those kind of mistakes in a tight game.''
  Robinson was running through holes the size of a truck. Once in the open field, the Toreadores were chasing his shadow down the sidelines.
 "I thought we were turning a corner three weeks ago,'' Brown said. "But we still have too many off-the field distractions behind the scenes. I still think we're going in the right direction.''
 The Toreadores touchdowns came on a rush from sophomore Darius Garrard, while sophomore quarterback Evans Charles hit Nathaniel Gwin with a touchdown late in the game.
