History repeats, Oceanside survives Helix
in final 10 seconds for fifth straight title

© East County Sports.com
SAN DIEGO (12-13-08) — In an effort to make sure history would not repeat, Helix High coach TROY STARR rolled the dice and elected not to run the ball with Friday's (Dec. 12) SDCIF Division II championship contest on the line.

Oceanside 23,
Helix 19

But when a surprising jump pass over the middle was intercepted by 5-foot-8 linebacker Rene Siluano in the endzone with 10 seconds remaining, it clinched a fifth consecutive San Diego Section crown for Oceanside, which held off the upset-minded Highlanders, 23-19, at Qualcomm Stadium.

"The call may not be the typical play that someone is expecting, but that's what made it a good call," said Scotties 6-foot-8 tight end LEVINE TOILOLO, the intended receiver. "It's a play we've practiced but never used in a game. It just didn't go our way."

A week ago in the semifinals, the Helix defense made a late, goalline stand to subdue Eastlake 27-24 when the Titans attempted to run up the middle. History also records two other postseason contests also ended in similar fashion this playoff year, including two failed attempts by El Capitan against St. Augustine.

So when Helix failed on a 1st-and-goal from the Pirates-1 on a handoff to reliable running back TRAVON VAN (90 yards on 17 carries), Starr elected to cross-up the Oceanside defense with a 1950s era jump pass.

"I was only responsible for a pass, so that's what I was looking for, no matter what kind of pass it might have been," said Siluano, who stands a full foot shorter than the Stanford bound Toilolo.

And when the pass darted towards the knees of Siluano, Toilolo had no opportunity to utilize his massive height advantage to reach the football, thus ending Helix' shot at upsetting the defending CIF state bowl game champions.

Oceanside (12-0-1), which ran its unbeaten streak to 25 games – the Pirates' last setback was to Helix in the 2007 season opener – now moves into consideration for another state bowl contest at Home Depot Center in Carson.

Meanwhile, the disappointment among the Highlanders was tremendous as, ultimately, history did repeat. Oceanside now owns four straight championship game victories over Helix over the past seven seasons, the others coming in 2002, 2004 and 2006.

This one was the closest.

"It didn't matter who had the ball in their hand, we just had to score," said Van. "The defense always brings their lunch to work – they work hard every game and gave us a chance, but we just didn't finish it off."

Helix got the ball back with 3:02 remaining when senior free safety TRELAN TAYLOR survived a collision with teammate PAUL BLAKENEY to hang on to the ball for an interception at the Helix-36.

Two plays later, Helix quarterback TY CULVER (9-for-16, 147 yards) found Taylor on a 41-yard pass down the right sideline in front of the Oceanside bench. The pair again hooked-up for a 3rd-down conversion for 15 additional yards to move into position for the upset of the Pirates, the top-seeded team in the division and ranked 20th in California by CalHiSports.com.

"The interception was a big play that changed the momentum, as our offense tried to get it done," noted Taylor. "We kept fighting back, but that (final offensive) play isn't the reason we lost."

Helix (10-2-1) shocked many by taking a 19-16 halftime lead, despite being out-gained by a 2-to-1 margin in yardage. However, Oceanside took the second half kickoff and marched 77 yards in 12 plays, capped by a 1-yard by Jake Fely.

Little did anyone know the touchdown would be the lone scoring play of the second half.

"Everyone worked hard on their specific assignments and did a great job making plays when the ball came their way," Toilolo noted about the Helix defense. "We had our opportunities, but small mistakes cost us."

Oceanside took the a 7-0 lead just 57 seconds into the contest, driving 49 yards after recovering an onsides kickoff to start the contest. Four plays later, Pirates quarterback Jordan Wynn (13-34-3, 300 yards) connected with Demario Coleman from 26 yards for the score.

Culver answered with a 5-yard TD run off the right tackle, following the lead block of pulling guard ANTHONY LARCEVAL with 13.8 seconds left in the period. The conversion was wide leaving Oceanside with a 7-6 lead, however the Pirates missed their own PAT following a 1-yard TD dive by King Holder.

Helix got even on Culver's second touchdown run from 3 yards out with 3:34 left in the half, but Oceanside kicker Jose Velasquez booted a 41-yard field goal to regain the lead at 16-13 with 31.8 seconds to go.

However, the Scotties took their first lead on a 25-yard gallop by Van. The score was set-up when Taylor returned the kickoff 42 yards to the middle of Oceanside territory after bouncing off a hard hit by a Pirates tackler and bouncing to the outside.

Holder finished with six receptions for 65 yards, Siluano led all Oceanside rushers with 72 yards on 14 carries.

The Helix defensive unit finished by gaining four turnovers. In addition to Taylor's interception, JO-JO PHILLIPS returned a theft made in the end zone 70 yards, while Blakeney recorded both a pick and a fumble recovery, as a hard hit by defensive end ANTHONY ANDERSON jarred the ball loose.

Culver finished with 1,948 pass yards, topping the school's best mark this decade set in '01 by ALEX SMITH (1,704), now with the NFL 49ers.

  Cathedral makes case for state bowl bid,
romps past Valhalla in Division III finale

© East County Sports.com
SAN DIEGO (12-13-08) — The best season in Valhalla High football history came to an end courtesy of a ballclub which posted an even better best-ever campaign.

DIVISION III
Cathedral 49,
Valhalla 13
Other Voices
Buoyed by four touchdowns by record-setting senior running back TYLER GAFFNEY, Cathedral Catholic capped a perfect 13-0 season by whipping the Norsemen, 49-13, in Friday's (Dec. 12) SDCIF Division III championship contest at Qualcomm Stadium.

Gaffney's scores give him 51 for the season, a new San Diego Section record. The tailback also rushed for 156 yards, giving him 2,459 for the season. The section rushing record is 2,663, set later in the evening by Escondido junior Ricky Seale, who gained 216 in the Cougars SDCIF Division I 45-28 setback to La Costa Canyon, which gained its first-ever SDCIF Division I title.

The Dons (13-0) are in the running for a CIF state bowl contest, which would give Gaffney one additional contest to make a run at the mark.

Gaffney was talking about everything except individual records after pasting the Norsemen, who were making their first-ever title game appearance.

"Perfect. 13-0. Senior season. You can’t ask for more," exclaimed Gaffney. "And although it's not in our control, we do want to go 14-0."

On Sunday (Dec. 14), all 10 CIF section commissioners, including San Diego's Dennis Ackerman, will meet to award berths to next weekend's expanded series of five state bowl games.

Also influencing the decision is the state rankings by CalHiSports.com. Senior editor Mark Tennis was in town to watch both top contenders Cathedral and Oceanside to rate the squads, while gathering opinions from coaches and members of the media. An informal poll in the press box showed the Dons with a slight edge over Oceanside; ballots for the final county rankings are due over the weekend.

Gaffney helped make the case for the Carmel Valley side. Along with his rushing, he caught two passes for 98 yards -- both for touchdowns -- and returned a pair of punts for 45 yards, giving the senior nearly 300 all-purpose yards.

"We were trying to spread the ball, show them we could do this and we could do that," noted Gaffney. "Then we started to put the grind on them and put them down."

However, the contest did not start well for Cathedral. After a scoreless first quarter, it was Valhalla which broke the ice to take the early lead.

Following an interception by WESLEY PARKER, the Norsemen needed just two plays to score on a pass by PETE THOMAS. The junior quarterback connected with JAMES LEIGHTON, who bounced off a pair of Dons tacklers for the 11-yard touchdown.

Thomas finished by completing 25-of-34 for 308 yards, including seven to Leighton for 95 yards.

Missed opportunities earlier prevented Valhalla from gaining a larger cushion.

Two other first-half drives into the Dons redzone saw a 4th-down pass get batted away by Brenden Van Deventer, then a fumble at the goalline late in the half was recovered by Cathedral.

"We had some chances to score a couple of other times," admitted Valhalla coach STEVE SUTTON. "But we didn't because of the fumble at the goalline, then the protection went wrong in the first quarter and their kid knocked the ball down on fourth down."

The Norsemen also lost a score after a penalty nullified a 97-yard kickoff return by TRAIVONNE BROWN in the second half.

"Their defense is really good -- I didn't realize how fast they are, which is one reason why they are 13-0," added Sutton. "I don't know if we could've beaten them, but we should've scored more than we did."

Still, going against one of the Southland's top ballclubs, Valhalla held its own for the first 15 minutes, limiting Gaffney to just 21 rushing yards in the first period.

"We just came out and tried to show them what we had," junior nose tackle SHANE PENNIX stated. "Gaffney is a great running back and once he gets outside, he can break tackles. So we had to show how we could pressure him and keep him inside."

"His legs are strong and he made some good cuts to break tackles."

Added Brown, "It was our first time here, so we had to come out pumped up and show that we deserved to be here."

After Cathedral took a 7-6 lead, Gaffney scored on a 19-yard burst, then hauled in a 56-yard TD pass, breaking four tackles along the way for a 21-6 halftime lead.

In the third quarter, Gaffney scored on a 31-yard gallop, then on a 42-yard pass from quarterback Parker Hipp. The younger brother of Grossmont College JC All-America tight end KYLE HIPP -- the 2008 Joe Roth Memorial Award recipient -- completed 9-of-16 passes for 208 yards and three scores.

Valhalla's other score came midway through the third period on an 80-yard march.

Thomas went 2-for-2, including long completions to DEREK WHITE (37 yards) and MATTHEW SWANGER (22) to get to the Dons-1, where Leighton took a fly sweep to the right to cut the lead to 35-13.

The Dons capped the scoring with Van Deventer's 44-yard runback on an interception.

"I told the team I wasn't satisfied until I got the ring," added Pennix. "But we got to the 'Q' for the first time, so I am satisfied now."

Added Thomas, "We felt good -- we should've put it in on those first two drives. But Cathedral's defense is solid and they stopped us in the redzone twice. We finally put it in the endzone, but we knew going in that we needed to score more than twice to beat these guys."

"Cathedral's defense is really fast -- they're right up there with Helix -- and showed they're the No. 1 team in the county."

Another bright note for the Norsemen: the offense returns eight starters.

"Plus, Shane is the cornerstone of our defense and he'll be back," noted the quarterback. "I know we didn't win our last game, but 11-2 is pretty good."

Old-hat Helix, newcomer Valhalla
ignored for SDCIF championships

SAN DIEGO (12-11-08) — The talk entering Friday's championship quadruple-header at Qualcomm Stadium for CIF-San Diego Section football titles centers around whether Oceanside and Cathedral Catholic high schools can gain berths to the state bowl series.

The Qualcomm Stadium marquis says it all:

The conversation may be well-deserved.

The top two teams in both major San Diego County media rankings, defending state bowl titlist Oceanside (11-0-1) owns a 24-game unbeaten streak as the Pirates seek a fifth consecutive Division II section crown. Meanwhile, undefeated Cathedral's Dons (12-0) is rated 10th in the state — one slot above the Bucs, according to Cal-Hi Sports.

However, speculation centers around the belief that only one San Diego Section program will advance into the expanded state bowl series, with five ballgames to be held at Home Depot Center in Carson. Thus, it may simply come down to a recommendation by SDCIF commissioner DENNIS ACKERMAN to the other nine section leaders which comprise the selection committee on which team gets in -- or more importantly, which is left out.

Cathedral, a Division III program, is actually classified as a Division II program by state CIF enrollment standards, just like Oceanside. And both teams may be ignored as the Southern California representative.

In the Southern Section — which is commonly accepted to be stronger — Corona-Centennial (13-0) meets Chaparral (12-1) for the Inland Division title, while Long Beach Poly (13-0) tangles with Tesoro (14-0) for the Pac-5 crown.

Fortunately for the San Diego schools, Sherman Oaks Notre Dame and Orange Lutheran, which are ranked ahead of them, both suffered playoff losses last week, opening the door for a possible bowl berth as an at-large representative.

But which one?

In the local media poll which includes East County Sports.com and The North County Times lists Cathedral ahead by a sliver, taking 11 of 21 first-place votes. It's a similar margin which has the Dons ahead by one spot in the Cal Hi Sports state rankings, although Oceanside gets the slight nod in the USA Today national ratings at No. 20.

It should be an extremely difficult choice to make a determination.... Stop!

Despite all the talk, did someone forget that East County's very own Helix and Valhalla high schools remain on the schedule before any discussion of advancing to any state bowl becomes valid.

Not a slouch at being in the limelight, the Highlanders (10-1-1) are making their 8th appearance at Qualcomm since 1998, and are longtime acquaintances with Oceanside's Pirates. They will meet in the finals for the fifth time this decade for the section's Division II crown.

The Norsemen (11-1), guaranteed with their finest finish in school history, are newcomers to playing at the "Q." They will take on the Dons for the Division III title in a 1 p.m. kickoff.

DIVISION III
No. 9 Valhalla vs. No. 1 Cathedral, 1 p.m. —
The Dons’ attack centers around senior running back Tyler Gaffney, who has scored a San Diego Section record 282 points (47 touchdowns) this season, including a record-tying 7 against Scripps Ranch on the final day of the regular season.

With 2,381 rushing yards, Gaffney needs 244 more to break the section record of 2,625, set by Gary Taylor of Morse in 1990. Should Cathedral win and gain a bowl berth, the record should no doubt get eclipsed.

The Dons average a click under 48 points per contest, but do allow their share of opposition scoring — the opening necessary for the Norsemen to stay in the contest with their aerial attack led by Valhalla’s most prolific passer, PETE THOMAS.

Speedy running back TRAIVONNE BROWN has breakaway speed and is the point man in the running game for the Norsemen. DEREK WHITE, MATTHEW SWANGER and JAMES LEIGHTON are sure-handed receivers who know how to find the endzone.

Cathedral’s Parker Hipp is no slouch throwing the football, having completed 69 percent of 165 passes for 2,054 yards and 20 touchdowns. Hipp also averages nearly 6 yards a carry and has scored three times.

Nobody’s offense is better than Cathedral’s. The closest thing to it would be possibly Valhalla’s offense.

Nonetheless, the Norsemen have no answer for Gaffney. Thus, Valhalla better force several turnovers or else... Cathedral, 48-21.

DIVISION II
No. 3 Helix vs. No. 2 Oceanside, 4:30 p.m. —
The seemingly annual battle for the Division II title between these Green & White clad programs should be another thriller.

While Oceanside is known as a running team, the rise in the play of senior quarterback Jordan Wynn makes the Pirates even more difficult to contend with. The Pirates' question mark was at receiver following the graduation of their top six pass catchers, but a new crop has exceeded expectations in the transformation of the offense.

At the top of the list is Osmond Nicholas, who has verbally committed to San Diego State, and DeMario Coleman, who has the best hands among the Pirates, owning team highs of 43 receptions and 1,164 yards.

Among the people — media and coaches — we've talked with, almost everyone says the score will be 28-21. We don't know if that's an Internet rumor everyone has picked up on, yet almost everyone has made the same prediction with one asterisk — you need to select the winner.

The Scotties front seven is certainly capable of stopping the running game. They held Valhalla's touted pass attack to just two touchdowns in a 28-14 victory with a speedy secondary led by TRELAN TAYLOR and BRANDON WATSON.

Let it be said that Helix plays a little bit of offense, too. Running back TRAVON VAN is a scoring threat every time he touches the ball, and senior TY CULVER is an underrated quarterback. When it comes to 6-foot-8 LEVINE TOILOLO, take your pick where he makes his greatest impact because he’s good on both sides of the ball.

The Fearsome Forecaster has been RED HOT with upset selections during the postseason (do you remember Grossmont over Bonita Vista, Steele Canyon over Ramona, and Helix over Eastlake).... Do you mean???... Yes, the East County Sports' championship Upset Special... Helix, 28-21.
