STATISTICAL WATCH : Sollom, Bonds Rarely Throw to Wrong Team

Share

Canyon’s Ken Sollom has passed for 2,535 yards and 27 touchdowns, and Hart’s Jim Bonds has passed for 2,429 yards and 32 touchdowns. Yet the most impressive statistic may be their interception percentages. Sollom has thrown five interceptions in 246 passes (2.03%) and Bonds has thrown six interceptions in 245 passes (2.45%). . . . Newbury Park’s Jayson Merrill set a school record with 1,494 yards passing this year.

Defense: Kennedy allowed Dorsey only eight yards rushing last week and has allowed just 304 yards rushing in 10 games. . . . Crespi held Edison to only 75 yards, but that hurt the team’s rushing defense average. The Celts allowed only 39.1 yards per game during the regular season. Including the first round of the playoffs, Crespi has given up only 466 yards on the ground.

Receiving: Hart’s Chris Hite, the area’s leading receiver, caught 4 passes for 46 yards in last week’s first round playoff victory over Arroyo Grande to give him 67 catches for 861 yards and 15 touchdowns. Agoura’s Mike Eckel, the area’s second-leading receiver, had 4 catches for 49 yards in a season-ending loss to St. Joseph. Eckel finished with 54 catches for 896 yards and 6 touchdowns.

Scoring: Crespi’s Russell White has scored 24 touchdowns this season while carrying the ball 140 times and catching 13 passes. That averages to one touchdown every 6.37 times he touches the ball. . . . The three Channel League representatives to the Coastal Conference playoffs were defeated by a combined score of 110-6 in last week’s first round. . . . The three Golden League teams won by a combined score of 96-13. . . . Abo Velasco was Burbank’s all-everything player this year, but not even he could live up to the statistics supplied in Sunday’s Times, which credited Velasco with 75 rushing touchdowns. Velasco has rushed for seven touchdowns.

Offense: Chaminade gained 446 total yards in a first-round playoff loss to Bloomington last week. Sophomore running back Sean Burwell gained 136 of the Eagles’ 157 rushing yards, and Dave Morrison completed 15 of 27 passes for 279 yards. Bloomington gained 500 yards.
