Notes & Highlights
In the first night game ever played at Carson, the Colts rolled over Locke of Los Angeles 36-18 behind two TD runs from LeMar McQueen. The evening featured halftime speeches, fireworks and a salute to former coaches, including Gene Vollnogle, one of the winningest coaches in state history.......One of the reasons for Chino's success has been the emergence of running back Kes Expre-Olomo. The Kes Express churned out 201 yards on 18 carries and scored twice in a 41-21 victory last week over Corona......... New No. 20 Torrey Pines, playing at home for the first time this season, pulled out a game in the fourth quarter once again with late heroics to best highly regarded and previous San Diego No. 4 Carlsbad 21-14.  This time it was a 12 play 74 yard drive that ended with junior running back Randall Aquilina plunging across from the 1 yard line with 1:30 remaining......Torrey Pines replaced Santa Margarita in this week's top 20. The Eagles lost to Tustin, 36-33, to drop to 3-1-1. Their tie came in week one against Ayala, but that didn't stop good ol USA Today from having Santa Margarita at No. 17 in the nation last week.......One week after Burbank of Sacramento recorded its first win ever over traditional power Jesuit of Carmichael, the Titans weren't as successful against state-ranked Johnson. The Warriors ripped Burbank 56-12 behind Vince Mays' five touchdowns.........
