Some Orange County things that jumped out at me in Week 4:
- Chad Miller of Foothill passed for two touchdowns and rushed for three, and Michael Camacho ran for three, in a 56-38 victory over El Modena. Both offenses made the defenses look offensive.
- Ryan Wertenberger of Laguna Hills passed for 170 yards and three touchdowns in a 34-0 victory over Woodbridge. Laguna Hills’ new stadium gets christened with style.
- Andy McDonald of Newport Harbor completed nine of 11 passes for 232 yards and a touchdown during a 28-14 victory over Dana Hills. Repeat those numbers back slowly and let it sink in.
- With Wes Fletcher of Placentia Valencia out of the lineup with an ankle injury, Rickee Collins rushed for 167 yards in a 28-9 victory over Capistrano Valley. Maybe we ought to give that Tigers’ offensive line some love, eh?
- Brad Curtis of San Clemente passed for three touchdowns -- all in the second quarter -- and ran for another in a 35-14 victory over El Toro. That’s a good night in just one quarter.
- Derek Orman of Western scored on a 40-yard run and a 45-yard pass reception in a 28-3 victory over Tustin. I’ve always been a fan of long distance.
- Noah Molnar of Corona del Mar intercepted four passes in a 22-14 victory over South El Monte. A junior, Molnar caught almost as many balls on defense as he has all season on offense (six).
- Ramon Mejia of Anaheim kicked a 33-yard field goal with 39 seconds left to give the undefeated Colonists a 13-10 victory over Loara. Game-winning field goals seem like such a high school rarity.
- Reid Williams of Esperanza rushed for 98 yards and four touchdowns in a 28-7 victory over Tesoro. You know, I sometimes wonder what kind of damage I could do in that Esperanza backfield.
- Martin Henderson
