INLAND FIELDHOUSE

THE DETAILS:
Oceanside El Camino vs. Perris Citrus Hill
CIF-Southern Section – Week 2
At Perris (Calif.) Citrus Hill HS
Kickoff: 7 p.m. PT on Friday, Sept. 8

OCEANSIDE EL CAMINO (2-0 overall, 0-0 Avocado) is off to one of its best starts in years after wins over San Diego Point Loma (21-8) and San Diego Rancho Bernardo (28-17) to open the season. The team returns on offensive trio of seniors that’s going to be tough for any team to beat with QB Jaden Casey, RB Chris Brown and WR Wayne Steward. Each is looking at significant statistical milestones should they have healthy and productive final seasons at a place not really know for its football. A playoff team last year, the team finished 3-8 overall. In fact, should the Wildcats win four more games this season it will be just the program’s fifth winning season over the last 15 years.
HEAD COACH: Jerry Ralph

PERRIS CITRUS HILL (2-0 overall, 0-0 Mt. Pass) reminded folks that the Hawks are still here after pounding Corona Santiago, 28-10, in Week 1. Senior QB/RB Jonathan Jefferson breaks tackles like it’s part of his job, and the offensive line is big and healthy enough to push the line of scrimmage on most every down. With just enough wrinkles to the offense that Jefferson gets to the end zone regularly, the Hawks defense is as opportunistic as ever.
HEAD COACH: Eric Zomalt
