New fullback leads Torrey Pines to romp
By: North County Times | ∞
LEVITTOWN, Pa. ---- Pete Johnson made quite an impression in his Torrey Pines High football debut.
The Falcons fullback scored four touchdowns in a 41-16 road win over Harry S. Truman of Levittown, Pa. Torrey Pines coach Ed Burke said that Johnson played a solid game throughout and moved the ball with relative ease.
The Falcons played well despite adverse conditions. The game, which was moved up from its originally scheduled time to avoid incoming tropical storm Ernesto, was nonetheless played in heavy wind and rain. The Falcons were still able to move the ball at will and held a 21-0 halftime lead after a scoreless first quarter. Tom Cutting caught a touchdown pass and Casey Allred ran in for another score.
Burke was equally pleased with his defense and singled out linebacker Nic Renshaw for his efforts.
"I was really impressed with what we were able to do defensively," Burke said.
"But the entire team showed tremendous focus despite the fact that our minds were on everything but football during the week. We were out seeing historical sites and taking educational trips for most of the week. But when it came time for kickoff, our guys were ready to play."
