Homecoming a Happy One as La Jolla Edges Serra

The iffy weather mostly cooperated, and so did the opposition as the football team scored a safety and touchdown in the second half to beat Serra High 10-3 in the Vikings' homecoming game Friday night.

La Jolla (2-7, 1-3) trailed at the half 3-0 and pulled within a point in the third quarter when Dylan Walsh blocked a Serra (3-6, 0-4) punt out of the end zone. About four minutes into the fourth quarter, quarterback Bobby Schuman carried it in from a yard out and Kenneth Martey added the two-point conversion to complete the comeback.

Martey (110 yards on 19 carries) and Dillon Cromwell (81 yards, 17 carries) led a Viking ground attack that netted 294 yards. Schuman threw just four passes, completing three for 19 yards.

Christian 24, La Jolla Country Day 21

In a game that had six lead changes, Christian came out on top in a Coastal League contest by scoring the lone second-half touchdown.

After Christian (6-3, 3-1) took a 3-0 lead, Colin McMahon scored the first of his three touchdowns (on runs of 36, 44 and 26 yards) for the Torreys (6-3, 1-3), but the Patriots always had an answer, handing LJCD its third straight loss after the Torreys opened the season with six consecutive wins.
