ESCONDIDO ---- With more than a dozen players out with injuries Friday night, San Pasqual High football coach Mike Dolan said, "I was looking for backups for my backups. And Torrey Pines isn't a good team to play with backups."

San Pasqual's backups couldn't keep up with No. 3-ranked Torrey Pines in the nonleague contest as the Falcons ran by the Eagles 42-15 to remain unbeaten.

Torrey Pines rolled up 520 yards total offense, rushing 50 times for 440 yards. Plus, the Falcons had 24 first downs.

The Falcons had 19 plays ---- 14 run of those runs ---- of 10 yards or more.

Torrey Pines used nine ballcarriers and seven of them had runs of 13 yards or more.

Pete Johnson led the way for Torrey Pines, rushing 19 times for 141 yards, including touchdown runs of 5, 14 and 41 yards.

"The offensive line opened some big holes and we just ran through them," Johnson said. "We studied San Pasqual all week. We were really well prepared.

"And we have a great running attack with three good backs."

Riley Myrick rushed seven times for 75 yards and opened the scoring with a 43-yard TD run on the first series of the game. Myrick broke at least six tackles on that run.

Kyle Moffatt carried seven times for 47 yards.

Falcons quarterback Blake Vanderwiel had 58 yards rushing and passed for 80 more, including as 13-yard scoring toss to Michael Disraeli.

Backup quarterback Casey Allred had five carries for 85 yards, including a 63-yard TD run.

"We sure didn't do much to slow them down," San Pasqual's Dolan said after his team slipped to 0-3. "It's no excuse because we didn't tackle very well, but we're battered and bruised.

"It's just one of those years."

After Torrey Pines jumped out to the early lead, San Pasqual quarterback Daniel Minamide went 80 yards late in the first quarter to get the Eagles even.

It was all Torrey Pines after that as San Pasqual didn't score again until 19 seconds remaining in the game when Bryan Bonahoom bulled in from a yard out.

"Obviously, I'm pleased to come to this stadium and get a win," said Torrey Pines coach Ed Burke. "It was a hard-hitting game. San Pasqual comes to play.

"But we have a lot of quick kids who play hard on every snap. I really like to think it has been a team effort that has carried us to 4-0."
