After completing a major upset last weekend against Valhalla, the Helix Highlanders continued their late season heroics on Friday night, defeating Scripps Ranch 17-6.

The Highlanders were led by Brandon Lewis, a sophomore playing in his third career varsity game, in the win.  Lewis passed 8/18 for just 97 yards and a touchdown but managed to get key first downs with his legs late in the game.

“I’ve been a head coach for sixteen years.   This is the most remarkable group of kids I’ve ever had,” head coach Troy Starr said after the game.

Helix, who played in the CIF Finals last season, opened up an early lead on the Falcons scoring on a 15 play, 80-yard drive that was capped of by a 4 yard TD run by Darrion Hancock.

The drive came after a failed Scripps Ranch 51 yard field goal attempt by star kicker Nick Sloan.  Once Hancock crossed the goal line with 3:49 to go in the first quarter, the crowd was quieted and would never fully get back into the game.

619 Sports Prep Game Of The Week: Pirates’ Pick A Winner

September 26, 2009

ShareIn a game that had been a defensive struggle from start to finish, you had to figure a big defensive play would be the decider.  King Holder’s interception in the final minute of the fourth quarter sealed a 14-7 win for #1 Oceanside over Southern Section traditional power Long Beach Poly.  It came on an [...]

ShareYou can’t win the Super Bowl if you’re a wimp.

Maybe you can win it without a quarterback (see: Dilfer, Trent), and maybe you can win it without a passing game (see: Griese, Bob and his six pass completions in Super Bowl VIII). A running game is nice, but you can win a Super Bowl without [...]
