OCEANSIDE -- The Oceanside High football team was eager to prove Friday night that its recent hiccup against Ramona was just that.

The Pirates returned to their winning ways in a big way, defeating visiting Lincoln 41-0 in the Division II CIF San Diego Section quarterfinals.

The top-seeded Pirates (10-0-1) entered the postseason coming off a disheartening 33-33 tie at Ramona. It was a result that got Oceanside's attention, and that's bad news for opponents.

"It was a wake-up call," Oceanside coach John Carroll said. "That could have been a blessing for us because everything was going too easy. We were routing everybody and the starters were only playing 2 1/2 quarters, or sometimes less. So that could have been the best thing to happen to us."

The Pirates are headed to their 15th straight San Diego Section semifinal, and will host Scripps Ranch next Friday. By thumping Lincoln, the Pirates' unbeaten streak rose to 23.

Quarterback Jordan Wynn, who has committed to the University of Utah, was sensational in the first half, completing 12-of-17 passes for 214 yards and two touchdowns. Wynn finished with 295 yards through the air.

Wynn quickly knocked the wind out of Lincoln, a 35-29 winner against Mt. Carmel last week. He clicked with DeMario Coleman on a 50-yard slant to cap the game's opening drive for a 7-0 edge.

On the next possession, the Pirates let Rene Siluano run 5 yards for a 14-0 cushion.

While the offense was cooking, the defense was hot as well, holding the Hornets (6-6) to 5 first-quarter yards.

Oceanside, the No. 4-ranked team in the state bowl standings, increased its bulge to 21-0 on Jake Fely's 4-yard scoring run. Wynn finished the first-half outburst with a 14-yard strike to Osmond Nicholas.

Wynn got plenty of support, with Fely running for two touchdowns and King Holder playing like a prince. Holder snatched eight passes for 122 yards and added 69 yards on six rushes.

"He's an explosive kid," Carroll said. "He's good with the football in his hands."

The Pirates' final score came on a 44-yard run by Elijah Latham.

But save a hallelujah for the Pirates' defense. After giving up a season-high 33 points against Ramona, it was an inspired unit against the Hornets.

"During our week off we had to regroup," said defensive lineman Thomas Molesi, who had one of the Pirates' two sacks. "And we showed Lincoln how Oceanside can play.

"That Ramona game was one of our worst performances and we had to pick it up. It reinforced that we had to practice harder and be more disciplined."

The Pirates' first shutout of the season puts them four quarters from Qualcomm Stadium for another trip to the finals.

"We're one win," Carroll told his team, "from our second home."
