Westminster Rolls Past Garden Grove

Garden Grove took an early two-touchdown lead before Westminster scored touchdowns on five of its next six possessions to win, 42-27, in a nonleague football game Thursday night at Westminster High School.

Quarterback Kelly Coburn and running back Christian Chamberlain led the way for Westminster (3-4). Coburn threw for 157 yards, connecting on touchdown passes of 38 yards to Keishun Hollins and 14 yards to fullback Cande Maldonado. Chamberlain finished with 101 yards in 13 carries and scored two touchdowns on runs of 12 and four yards.

Trailing, 35-20, with less than two minutes remaining in the game, Garden Grove (4-3) scored on a two-yard run by quarterback Keo Sutherland. The extra point was no good and the Argonauts attempted an onside kick.

The kick was recovered by Garden Grove with 47 seconds on the clock, but two plays later Lion defensive back Tony Flores intercepted a pass from Sutherland at the Westminster 45-yard line and raced 55 yards for a touchdown.

Garden Grove scored twice in the first quarter on runs of 10 yards by Miguel Medina and 64 yards by Sterling Trotter.

The Argonauts also got a scoring pass from Sutherland, who hit Chris Jameson with a 33-yard scoring strike early in the fourth quarter.
