ORANGE COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL / PREP EXTRA : Myers Scores Two Touchdowns as Century Wins

David Myers rushed for 59 yards and two touchdowns to lead El Dorado to a 21-0 victory over Century in an Empire League game Friday night.

Myers combined with teammates DeLonne Kelly and Jake Ehlen to lead the Golden Hawks’ rushing attack. Kelly rushed for 66 yards in eight carries and Ehlen had 64 yards in eight carries.

The victory clinched a Southern Section playoff berth for El Dorado (6-3, 3-1), while Century fell to 1-7-1 and 0-4 in league play.

The Golden Hawks opened the scoring with an 83-yard drive late in the first quarter. Kelly went in from six yards out on the first play of the second quarter to give El Dorado a 7-0 lead. Myers made it 14-0 with six minutes 31 seconds left in the half when he scored on a two-yard run.

Century had its chances, but the Centurions were stopped twice on fourth down deep in Golden Hawks’ territory. Century had the ball inside El Dorado’s 10 with time running out in the first half, but on fourth-and-goal from the one, quarterback Jerry Diaz was stopped for no gain by B.J. Dyer.

Diaz had a good first half throwing the ball, completing nine of 13 passes for 123 yards. Eight of the passes went to Roland Cortez for 113 yards.

Myers added a touchdown with 2:06 left in the third quarter when he scored from 12 yards out.

El Dorado quarterback Mike Marzicola completed five of 11 passes for 89 yards.
