Hall of Champions Prep All-Star Football Game : San Diego Beats L.A. for the Third Straight Year, 24-9

For the second consecutive year, kicking (and kick-returning) proved decisive in the Hall of Champions prep all-star football game.

Andy Trakas of San Diego’s Patrick Henry High School made three of three field-goal attempts, and Eric Robinson of Oceanside’s El Camino returned a punt 83 yards for a touchdown as a San Diego County all-star team defeated a Los Angeles City Section all-star team, 24-9, before 5,125 fans Saturday night at Torrey Pines High School.

San Diego County has won three years in a row. Last year, Fallbrook’s Tim Walker kicked a 39-yard field goal with eight seconds remaining to give San Diego a 17-14 victory.

Saturday night, Trakas, who will attend San Diego State, opened the scoring with a a 38-yard field goal in the first quarter.

On the fourth play of the second quarter, San Diego’s James Loftis of Fallbrook sacked L.A. quarterback Roman Foster of Dorsey in the end zone for a safety and a 5-0 San Diego lead.

Trakas kicked field goals of 29 yards and 44 yards in the second quarter to give San Diego an 11-0 halftime advantage.

In the second half, the game turned into a sloppy affair marred by mistakes and penalties. Los Angeles avoided the possibility of being shut out by getting a safety in the third quarter. San Diego had a snap on a punt attempt sail into and out of the end zone.

Robinson, from Oceanside El Camino, provided some excitement with his 83-yard punt return midway through the fourth quarter.

Torrey Pines’ John Lynch scored on a four-yard keeper late in the fourth quarter to end the scoring for San Diego. The touchdown was set up by a fumbled punt by L.A.

Los Angeles’ only touchdown came on a 40-yard pass from Foster to Banning’s Johnny Lawrence.
