Vista del Lago Football

From explosive offenses to punishing defenses, Moreno Valley’s city school football opened the 2026 season with a perfect weekend — and now it is time for the entire city to get behind its teams.

Dupree-Boyd throws for 370 yards and four touchdowns, Jae’lynn Brown explodes for 172 receiving yards, Mikya Adams tops 100 on the ground, and Isaac “Gonzo” Gonzalez sets the tone for a relentless Ravens defense.

Vista del Lago's four-team home scrimmage delivered a wide range of looks and valuable live repetitions before the Ravens' 2026 opener.

Vista del Lago opens the 2026 season at home against Silverado with explosive execution, possession discipline and tackling in space among the keys.

Moreno Valley enters 2026 with more than one headline program. Valley View is the defending CIF-SS Division 11 champion. Moreno Valley High has stacked winning seasons. Canyon Springs has 17 wins in two years. Rancho Verde has a championship builder with city roots. Vista del Lago is drawing national attention while developing talent at home. Coaching, football IQ and athletic ability are spread across the city — and that should make this season special.

When Mike Tuohy took over Vista del Lago, the Ravens were coming off back-to-back 0-10 seasons. His first team improved to 4-6. His second went 10-3. Since 2019, Vista has posted a winning record every season, including three straight 9-4 years from 2021 through 2023. The program has climbed from Division 14 to Division 7, developed young stars early and turned winning from a hope into an expectation.

Josiah Dupree-Boyd took over Vista del Lago’s varsity offense as a freshman and immediately changed the conversation around quarterback play in Moreno Valley. Now a true junior, J5 enters 2026 as a four-star national recruit with 4,672 passing yards and 42 passing touchdowns across his first two varsity seasons, plus a sophomore year that added 462 rushing yards and nine scores. The city watched him arrive. Now the country is watching too.
