The Fine Print
With three games still remaining in the regular season, Ocean View
High’s Deshai Houston is closing in on becoming the school’s all-time
leader in total yardage...
Already, the speedy senior has compiled 1,900 yards in seven
games, which easily has surpassed the school’s previous single-season
total yardage mark of 1,300...
Now that Ocean View has completed a grueling five-week road trip
with a sparkling 4-1 record, the Seahawks return home Friday to take on
Westminster in a key Golden West League showdown. The game is listed as
an Ocean View home game, but Westminster High’s Bill Boswell Field really
is the home of the designated visiting Lions...
Ocean View might be without the services of its top receiver,
sophomore Patrick Campbell, who suffered a hyper-extended elbow after
being tackled out of bounds on a late kickoff return last week against
Santa Ana. Campbell is one of the county’s top receivers with a 13.3
average per catch...
With one more victory in its final three regular season games,
Ocean View will have tied the school record for most wins (seven) in a
single season...
The 1989 Seahawks have the school’s best single-season record,
7-4...
Marina, now 2-0 in Sunset League play following stirring upsets of
both Edison and Fountain Valley, beat the Chargers and Barons in the same
season for the first time since 1991...
The two league wins are the most by the school in more than six
years, according to Marina Coach Mark Rehling...
Neighborhood Bullies: Should Marina defeat Huntington Beach
Friday, the Vikings can be called the new bully on the block. In addition
to beating both Edison and Fountain Valley, Marina also defeated rival
Westminster in the fourth week of the season...
Huntington Beach will celebrate homecoming Friday at Sheue Field.
The school’s first graduating class is listed as 1907, but the first
mention of a homecoming game being held by the school is in the 1963
yearbook...
To the winner of the annual Marina-Huntington Beach game goes the
traditional game trophy, which has been in the Oilers’ possession the
past three years...
Both Huntington Beach and Marina come into Friday’s neighborhood
brawl relatively injury free, although Oiler Coach Tony Ciarelli said
that starting linebacker Barry Nerhus is questionable for the Vikings.
The senior suffered a leg injury last week against Esperanza...
Injuries are beginning to take their toll on the Edison High
defense: already lost for the remainder of the season are nose guard
David McCord (broken left ankle) and defensive end Kyle McCarter (back).
In addition, defensive end Dustin Brown also has suffered a neck injury.
Both the McCarter and Brown injuries came two weeks ago in the Marina
game...
Edison will be fighting for its postseason life tonight at
Esperanza. In five previous Sunset League meetings with the Aztecs, the
Chargers are 0-5...
One of last year’s most exciting games featured Los Alamitos and
Fountain Valley. The Griffins held on for a 24-23 victory in a showdown
that was not decided until the final gun went off. The teams renew their
rivalry tonight at Long Beach’s Veterans Stadium.
