LJCD Suffers First Loss; Vikings Also Fall

La Jolla Country Day fell hard from the ranks of the unbeaten Friday night as Santa Fe Christian High quarterback Connor Moore threw for two touchdowns and ran for a third to carry SFC to a 49-14 Coastal League victory.

The Torreys (6-1, 1-1) trailed 14-0 early in the second quarter after Moore's two scoring passes when Sage Burmeister scored on a 70-yard run after the snap from a shotgun formation went off quarterback Eddie Garcia and ended up in Burmeister's arms. It was 21-7 at the half in favor of the Eagles (6-1, 2-0).

Daniel Henry caught a 12-yard pass from Garcia for LJCD's second touchdown, but three turnovers, including two interceptions, hurt the Torreys' chances. Garcia was sacked five times, offsetting Burmeister's 129 yards rushing on 20 carries.

POINT LOMA 31, LA JOLLA 8

Jaivon Griffin ran for 173 yards and three touchdowns as the Pointers improved to 5-2 overall and 2-0 in the Western League. The Vikings fall to 1-6 and 0-2.

Dillon Cromwell score the La Jolla touchdown on a 2-yard run in the fourth quarter. He had 33 of the Vikings' 47 yards net rushing. Vincent Cheng had five receptions for 100 yards.
