Hornets

There was an offensive explosion Friday night at Scripps Ranch High School. The scoring frenzy left one casualty: the Orange Glen defense.  Scripps Ranch lit up the scoreboard all night long scoring a season high 63 points.

Orange Glen fought hard, but Brennan Clay and the Scripps Ranch offense were too much to handle.  Routing the Patriots 63-34, the Falcons (6-5) soared their way into the quarterfinals of the Division II CIF Playoffs, where they will face Lincoln.  Clay, a University of Oklahoma commit, looked spectacular rushing for over 150 yards with two touchdowns; all in less than two quarters of play.

The Falcon offense was firing on all cylinders throughout the game.  In the first half, Scripps Ranch got into the end zone on all but one drive.  After trailing early 14-7, the Falcons quickly rallied and entered the half with a 42-14 lead.  Déjà vu struck in the last 42 seconds of the half when QB Jake Fish found WR Jeff Brown for two 10-yard TD strikes.

“Tonight we came together and played well, these past few weeks this offense has been out of sync,” said Clay post-game.  “We finally got this offense clicking.  With the offense clicking it brings the defense together and makes them play harder.”

BALBOA STADIUM—The Lincoln Hornets have one of the most explosive offenses in San Diego Section, but without star running back Davon Dunn, it was as if the Hornets’ stinger had been pulled.  With St. Augustine’s ball-hawking defense focusing on Lincoln’s passing attack, the Saints (6-1, 2-0) forced four turnovers and blanked Lincoln (4-2-1, 1-1) into the final two minutes, closing out an 18-7 victory which was good enough to claim sole possession of first place in the Eastern League.

Dunn, an electrifying senior running back who is headed to Cal after graduation, was held out by Lincoln head coach Ron Hamamoto after struggling with a knee injury suffered two weeks ago against Mission Bay.  Hamamoto said after the game that Dunn has undergone an MRI exam on the knee, with the results still pending.

“We could have played (Dunn) tonight,” said Hamamoto, “we were just being careful with a talented young man.”

Without Dunn, the Hornets’ offense was pretty much done.
