La Jolla High Falls to Santa Fe Christian 38-23
Vikings score two late touchdowns but can't recover from a 31-point deficit.
Santa Fe Christian built a 24-7 halftime lead, enough to withstand a late rally by host La Jolla High on Friday night, as the Eagles improved to 4-1 with a 38-23 victory over the Vikings, who fall to 1-4.
SFC led 38-7 before Mark Pollan ran in a score from the 1 and Vincent Cheng scored on a 26-yard pass from Bobby Schuman in the final period. Kenneth Martey, who led the Vikings' ground attack with 58 yards on 13 carries, converted both two-point conversions, one by run and one on a pass reception.
Schuman's 2-yard TD run with just under two minutes left in the first half put the Vikings on the board.
