PHHS 26 Scripps Ranch 0

The Patriots ended their two game losing skid by beating the Falcons of Scripps Ranch HS 26-0. Offense was balanced with a good passing and running attack. QB play is much improved from the beginning of the year. The offensive line, consisting of Alex Giles, Lee Lawson, Ryan Thun, Maverick Robertson, Patrick Swanner, Kevin McKinney and Louis Olmedo re-established themselves with a fine performance in the running game and the downfield blocking. Their performance led to two rushing touchdowns. WR Charles Lee caught a TD pass.

On defense, Coach Valaile and Coach Armenta made several personnel changes and they paid off big. Kerry Grisby was moved to DT, Travonne Pollard was moved to LB and Loro Tombe was moved to to FS. All those moves paid big dividends with Grisby making a sack, Pollard flying to the ball leading the team in tackles and Tombe made an interception. CB Robert Luciano intercepted a pass and returned it for a 50 yard "pick 6".

Special teams had a couple of hiccups, but for the most part, played a good game. We replaced the Gunners with WR's Charles Tyler and Charles Lee and we pinned SRHS deep in their end of the field.

We wore Pink to bring attention to National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I want to thank Janice Swanner and her mother for providing Pink socks to our players. It was a worthy cause and a good lesson for our young men in the building of their future.

On a final note, Anthony Murdock was an honorary captain for yesterday's game. The players were happy to see him and he was received with open arms.
