Grady piles up yardage

Tommy Grady wanted to win this one for all the seniors.

It was Thursday, Nov. 14, when Edison High took on Los Alamitos in

the Sunset League regular season finale for both schools. The senior

quarterback and the Chargers did just about everything they needed to

do to win the game, out-gaining the Griffins in the process.

But turnovers plagued Edison, and those miscues proved costly in a

45-26 loss.

Grady, though, came up with another big game, throwing for 306

yards and two touch- downs. It marked the second time this season

that the Indepen- dent’s Player of the Week had surpassed 300 yards

passing in a single game, second only to the 361 he accumulated in an

Oct. 4 game against Mater Dei.

“Tommy had a real nice game, but we just had too many turnovers,”

Edison coach Dave White said.

Grady, the holder of numerous Edison passing records, threw

touchdown passes to his favorite targets that night, Nate Mitani and

Matt White.

Mitani led Edison in receiving with 131 yards on 10 receptions,

and White, last week’s Independent Player of the Week, had nine

receptions totaling 121 yards.
