You can’t lose if you don’t give up any points.

The Ocean View High School football team pitched a shutout on Friday night, and that allowed the Seahawks to earn an 8-0 overtime win over Santa Ana Valley in a nonleague opener at home.

Ocean View edged out the victory in Coach Jimmy Welker’s debut. Welker was hired after Luis Nunez resigned after nine seasons as the head of the program.

Ocean View scored the game’s only points in overtime, when Frankie Armenta threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to Seth Churchwell. Armenta then completed the two-point conversion pass to Jose Cholula.
