CARMEL VALLEY ---- For the second week in a row, things couldn't have gone much smoother for Torrey Pines High.
A week after mauling Poway, the Falcons rolled to a 28-13 nonleague victory over El Camino on Friday night.
The final statistics weren't quite as impressive as they were during the 42-0 win against the Titans, but they were certainly respectable as Torrey Pines (2-3) took care of the struggling Wildcats (0-5) at Ed Burke Field.
The Falcons have a bye next week before their Avocado League opener Oct. 16 against Escondido.
"To be honest, I think we've been playing well all year," said Falcons coach Scott Ashby. "We have some young guys who are just getting better and better. I think our defense has gotten better every single week.
"It's nice to get a couple wins, and it's something we want to build on and continue to improve every week."
For the second week in a row, junior quarterback John Cabot connected with receiver Ryan Rodas for two touchdowns. Cabot completed just six passes for 104 yards, but three of his completions went for scores.
"I definitely think we're getting better (passing the ball)," Cabot said. "Our timing is getting better. I have to give it up to the O-line for giving us time to complete those passes. And also to the receivers, who made some great catches."
Torrey Pines jumped on the scoreboard when Cabot hit Rodas for a 15-yard touchdown early in the first quarter. Cabot later hit Jered Wood with a 23-yard scoring pass. Running back Joseph Driscoll, who had 16 carries for 99 yards, broke loose for a 38-yard touchdown run as the Falcons took a 21-7 lead into intermission.
El Camino's only bright spot was an 85-yard punt return for a touchdown by Dominick Markham, who has returned a touchdown on special teams in each of the Wildcats' last three games.
In the second half, Cabot hooked up with Rodas for the duo's second score (22 yards), and Markham found the end zone again for the Wildcats on a 1-yard quarterback sneak.
El Camino coach Pulu Poumele was disappointed with how his team finished on offense. The squad failed to convert on two of its three trips into the red zone.
"We need to do a better job there," Poumele said. "I thought our defense played strong, but we need to convert better on offense."
