Los Alamitos football team maintained its undefeated home record when it achieved a 49-6 victory over Marina High on Friday, Oct. 24.
The Griffins had the victory wrapped up after the first quarter of play, which saw them put up 42 points.
Griffins’ quarterback Jack Telenko threw his three touchdown passes in the first quarter of the game with his first two coming within the first six minutes of the game.
The success on the night for Los Al also was due to the variety of receivers that Telenko had at his disposal.
Telenko completed at least one pass to six different receivers, three of whom averaged over 30 yards per reception.
Griffins’ Denzal Brantley notched home his two TD’s of the night in consecutive fashion in the first quarter.
Brantley notched his first touchdown from a 14-yard reception and then his second about 3 minutes later after he forced his way into the endzone from about two yards out.
Los Al’s run game rounded out their drives and opened up passing lanes for Telenko
Marina was ran over by the Griffins running arsenal, which saw eight different players get at least a carry on the night
However, the Vikings did not let themselves walk out of Veterans stadium in a shutout defeat as they capitalized in the third quarter on a slip up in form by Los Al.
After the Vikings pressed the Griffins up to their own one yard line, Vikings’ quarterback Dominic Gonzalez rifled a pass in to Cooper Malerstein to score his sides only touchdown.
A big part of Marina not scoring is also due to the Griffins dominating presence in the defensive line.
Three different Los Al players sacked Gonzalez Friday night, which speaks for the sort of night the Marina quarterback had.
The pressure on Marina resulted in forced mistakes and unwarranted turnovers which aided in the Vikings’ downfall.
A pass early in the drive by Gonzalez in the first quarter was picked off by Griffins’ Blake Johnson and ran back for touchdown. The pick capped off a dominating display by Los Al.
The Griffins will try to extend their league winning streak this week when they visit Huntington Beach High on Friday Oct. 31. The Oilers are in desperate need of a league wins as they have only tasted their first bit of success last week against Fountain Valley. Los Alamitos won last year’s meeting between the two sides and it looks like it could happen again this year.
With only two more league contests left for the Griffins, this year has all the potential to be an undefeated 5-0 season for Los Al.
Marina is still looking to get its first victory of the season and will be hoping it can when it visits Newport Harbor High on Oct. 3. The Sailors are coming off consecutive league defeats and will undoubtedly be roaring the get back into winning fashion against a struggling Marina side.
