Prep SCOREBOARD : TOP PERFORMERS

Ulysses Trammell rushed for 292 yards and three touchdowns in 45 carries to lead Rancho Alamitos to a 32-0 victory in a Division VI playoff game against Pomona.

Billy Blanton completed 16 of 20 passes for 243 yards and five touchdowns, two to David Gonzalez, and Derek Sparks rushed for 213 yards and three touchdowns in 21 carries to spark Mater Dei to a 58-31 rout of Long Beach Poly in a Division I playoff game.

Running back Adam Garcia gained 175 yards in 19 carries, scored three touchdowns and had the game’s only interception to lead El Modena to a 31-0 victory over Culver City in a Division III playoff game.

Laguna Hills quarterback Casey Sullivan threw two touchdown passes to help beat his former team, St. Monica, 21-17, in the first round of the Division VII playoffs. Sullivan, who quarterbacked St. Monica a year ago, transfered to Laguna Hills over the summer and led the Hawks to the Pacific Coast League championship.

LATE HEROICS

Quarterback Jason Luevanos and Gilbert Arriola teamed on a 16-yard scoring pass in the waning moments to cap a 10-point rally in the final half minute and give Brea-Olinda a 24-17 Division VI victory over Corona del Mar.

After Brea-Olinda’s Marco Hernandez tied the game with a 24-yard field goal, teammate Mark McLeran forced a fumble on the ensuing kickoff to set up the game-winning drive.

Travis Lucero kicked a 24-yard field goal with 6:38 to play, capping a comeback in which Santa Margarita twice rallied from seven-point deficits to defeat Claremont, 17-14, in a Division IV playoff game.

Chris Castellano hit Scott Lesser with a five-yard scoring pass with 6:59 to play to cap Pacifica’s 24-20 Division VI playoff victory over Fullerton.

ON DEFENSE

Vance Senteno of Westminster had an interception, a recovered fumble and a quarterback sack in the Lions’ 40-0 loss to Canyon Country Canyon.

ON THE RECORD

‘It was just about then that I started thinking, “This is too good to be true,” ’

--Eric Patton, Capistrano Valley coach, after the Cougars broke out to a 31-3 second-quarter lead on the way to a 59-30 Division II playoff victory over Ventura.

NOTEWORTHY

Scoreboard Assault: Capistrano Valley and Ventura combined for 89 points in the opening round of the Division II playoffs, surpassing the outcome of any 1989 postseason game. Mater Dei’s 58-31 victory over Long Beach Poly Friday also totaled 89 points.

Last year, Bassett beat Bonita, 42-40, in the first round of Division V play, and Lompoc beat Temple City, 48-38, in the semifinals of Division VII.

But neither Capistrano Valley nor Mater Dei could individually compare to Whittier Christian’s 72-point explosion agaist Leffingwell Christian in the opening round of Division IX in 1989.
