Wade Houston rushed for 134 yards and three touchdowns, and Matt Viles threw for 199 yards and four TDs, two to Jeff Crissman, as the Chargers (2-0) scored 42 points in the second quarter in a 63-8 victory at Cabrillo High.
Houston added 65 yards on five catches as the Chargers, ranked No.ƒ|5 in the county, rolled over the Jaguars (0-1). Edison did not commit a penalty or a turnover and punted only once, on the final play of the game.
¡§We wanted to work on ourselves in this game,¡¨ White said. ¡§We had four turnovers and six or seven penalties in our first game, and we didn¡¦t want to turn the ball over tonight or make any penalties.¡¨
