PLACENTIA - Brock Dunn ran for three touchdowns, Kane Wilson threw for two scores and  El Dorado blasted El Modena, 59-42, Friday at Valencia High.

The Golden Hawks (2-5, 1-1 Century) jumped out to an easy 28-7  lead in the first quarter behind Wilson's  815-yard  touchdown strike to Danny Jeffus and scoring runs of 46, 5 and 4 yards by Dunn.

"They gave us some turnovers early, we got our confidence and  rolled from there,"El Dorado  coach Jeff Bailey said. "When we execute, we're not bad."

Wilson, who threw for 212 yards and ran for 86, threw another  touchdown to Austin Williams late in the first half and capped off his efficient night with a 820-yard touchdown run.

Dunn carried the ball four times for 87 yards and had five  receptions for another 40 yards.

El Modena (1-6, 0-2) finally got on track in the fourth quarter, posting four touchdowns in a game that was never as close as the final score  would indicate.

Anthony Daniel threw for 210 yards and four touchdowns and two  picks.

Chris Barnett rushed for 118 yards for the Vanguards and Patrick  Zurbuchen added a 98-yard kickoff return for a touchdown.
