so it will be the eagles kicking off in their blue home jerseys to the white jerseys of the los alamitos griffins who are 4-0 and led by coach ray fenton greg snyder is the assistant coach anthony rouzier the head coach of the santa margherita eagles in his first full year he had the abbreviated season to start in the spring and this is the first full year for him as the head coach he's been with santa margherita now going on his fifth year so the eagles will be kicking off to a potent los alamitos griffins offense and we'll tell you about them and of course they're led by their quarterback malachi nelson rated number two in the nation behind arch griffin of louisiana but he's rated as the number one quarterback in california so the eagles kicking off right to left on an energized night here in the city of mission viejo glad to have you joining us and we are underway and they're going to swift kick it to the 50-yard line a little bit of a surprise there so the griffins will work with a short field that ball picked up by zechariah nissa sophomore 6-0 six foot and he comes up with the football so we'll get a first look at malachi nelson going to oklahoma deandre moore also going to oklahoma the wide receiver and mal makai lemon pardon me he is also going to oklahoma so they start off first and 10 at midfield nelson hands off and the eagles there to stop up the middle so it will be second down and about 12. so the eagles get started off pretty well on defense for that first play as los alamitos establishing what they want as their run game three wide receivers on the near side of the field at the bottom of your screen nelson drops back to pass and a quick tackle by the eagles so back-to-back stops behind the line of scrimmage coming up is levar tally the sophomore who we had on efb insider this week fantastic football player with a lot of promise so it is third down and about 14 to go for a first down so back to pass plenty of time rolling to his right has some room dumps it off it's going to be a first down just barely so the griffins pick up a first down connected with gavin porch that time so the first pass is completed they pick up what they lost and a couple extra so just underway here at saddleback college in the city of mission viejo los alamitos griffins taking on the santa maria greedy eagles in the fifth game of the season for both teams eagles are three-in-one los alamitos they are undefeated at 4-0 and we'll talk about how they got undefeated and their scores and who they play lone running back and he'll get the football and pick up of about three yards just shy of the 35-yard line and that's nigel osborne three-star player looking at arizona state colorado kansas and uh san diego state so second down and eight ball on the 36-yard line approaching the 10-minute mark of the first quarter back to pass is the quarterback and he connects and over the 35-yard line to the 34-yard line so the griffins starting to kind of feel the eagles out on defense that was picked up caught by gavin porch the junior at 5 10 165 pounds you see the hurry up offense third and eight from the 35 and the eagles jump off sides so the third down and three once again we're coming to you from saddleback college and the newly renovated stadium los alamitos griffins making the trip down the 405 freeway to avery parkway on a friday night and we will have a big crowd tonight especially with santa margherita line them up plenty of backs in the backfield and just shy of the first down didn't look like he got it brian jurado so it'll be fourth down and about two along two malachi nelson the quarterback number two in the nation at his position he drops back got some time down field he looks pretty well covered everywhere but there's a man in the end zone all alone [Applause] so somehow getting behind the safety was gavin porch and it is the los alamitos griffins with the quarterback stretching out the play that reminded me of a play with the washington football team last night towards the end of the game as the quarterback sprinted to his right and he found porch in the end zone so it is six to nothing on their first drive they score at the 8.50 mark in the first quarter lineup for the p-a-t that was a the drive did not start off promising but they certainly certainly finished it the stop it's clean the kick it's up and it is so the score is seven nothing los al and we'll get an opportunity to see the eagles on offense so the los alamitos griffins who come into this game with a mark of 4-0 started off their year against bakersfield they played them at los alamitos high school they won that game scoring 65 points 65-18 following week on august 27th they took on lincoln of san diego that game was played at westminster high school that was a close one they won it 21-17 the following week they traveled to paramount won that game 50 to nothing and then on september 10th they play buchanan at buchanan high school and they won that game by three 34-31 santa margarita started off their season with a 38-14 win over san juan hills right here at saddleback college they lost to norco the following week 40 to 22 bounce back to defeat saint augustine 39-10 and then last week they beat nolan catholic of texas 31-13 so the eagles have the football and they'll get an opportunity to start a pretty decent field position not as good as field position as the los alamitos griffins as they worked with a short field as the eagles did a squip kick to the 50-yard line so that was a 50-yard drive by the griffins so we'll get a look at jackson potter in his offense jalen jones number 18 had a good game last week as the eagles started to really click on offense so first down at 10. potter looks back has a man on the near side nick gallegos so they start off passing and again the eagles work with a hurry up no huddle offense as well coach sean embry is up in the box calling the plays i had an opportunity to stand next to him last week at the nolan catholic game and is really fascinating listening to him call plays potter with time and that ball is picked off at the 49-yard line or did it yes he did catch it so number 16 comes up with it so in and out the griffins will be back out there and that's achilles campos barrett with the interception so they take over on the 47-yard line and this is where if you are lost out you want to strike quickly once again and once they get in the groove you know they can score a lot of points but it's early hero canoe with a huge sack did not see welcome those two boys young men will be playing on the college level and they'll see each other on saturdays most likely and hero canoe just introduced himself coming off the back side and lemon never saw him malachi lemon pardon me nelson never saw him second down at 16 so a loss of six gonna run it and get some of the yards back and then some so it will be third down in a long seven yards for a first so it was a third down play that the los alamitos griffin struck on after the eagles came out and stopped on him on two plays to start the game but it was nelson who had an opportunity and there and it looked like the eagles i'm not sure who they're gonna call that on okay they're gonna call it on the los alamitos griffin's number 50 as he jumped off and heads up by the eagles david chavez jumped a little bit so they'll back him up and it'll be third down and 13. so the offsides puts him at midfield and this is where they started the game on the squip kick on the opening kickoff to start the game and they went 50 yards for the drive third down 13 passing situation for nelson malachi nelson at quarterback he'll step back just in front of the 40. he airs this one out he's got a man but it's going to fall short so this would be a fourth down and we'll see how confident the los alamitos griffins are with their offense if they're gonna punt the ball or if they're gonna go for it looks like they're gonna drop back and punt the football so the eagles will said nick gallegos back and he is lining up about his uh about the 20-yard line so clean snap a little high a direct kick gallego signals for the fair catch and he does on the 12-yard line so the interception they can't capitalize on it giving the eagles the ball back so 7-0 with 6 56 to go in this first ray fenton is the head coach of the los alamitos griffins his assistant is greg snyder and i'll get to all the coaches with santa margherita down the line as this game develops again you're watching some of the best high school football players in the country right here on eagle tv 2.0 sports clock will start at 6 56 come out passing a good tackle nice tackle by the griffins so the ball was to lopez and coming up to make the tackle was kevin longstreet number 21. so this will bring up a second down a loss of one a second in 11 6 30 mark here in the first quarter eagles down seven nothing while salamino's opening drive they went 50 and we're gonna have another penalty on the line of scrimmage and it's gonna be against the eagles this time as they'll back them up five so the eagles trying to get in the groove on offense and in talking with coach ruse and coach sean embry jackson potter the last couple of weeks have really started to develop as a strong quarterback he's a transfer from jay sarah catholic high school and jackson lines up in the shotgun position just at the goal line he goes into the end zone steps up fires and that's completed spinning and trying to get a couple extra yards so lopez with the catch and it will be a long second down you know pardon me third down third down and along 10. fast moving first quarter here at saddleback college one scorer with the los alamitos griffins back to pass jackson he rolls to his right he finds and this one's intercepted the second interception and it's gonna go for at the one-yard line so the los alamitos griffins catching balls on defense coming up with the play is number three for the los alamitos griffins that's gavin porch see what the flag is and it will be on the return i think the interception will stand but it looks like let's see here the offense is staying out there for santa margarita looks like this one is going to be a do-over offsetting penalties so jackson is breathing a sigh of relief there so the interception is nullified by the offsetting penalties and remains third down in 11. three receivers on the bottom part of your screen man goes in motion and that is thrown just at the 10-yard line so it will be a fourth down as the eagles looking to get in some type of groove and jalen jones was on the other end of that one so we're at the 452 mark and the is counting counting down punter and roman christensen is a good punter for the eagles and he is about halfway into his end zone you need a perfect snap here and that is a perfect snap and a good punt and this one skies across the 50. it's a 55-yard punt in the air and good job of defending the eagles do a good job of that so about nine yards on the return alec wills on the return so we'll see the los alamitos griffins for the third time and all three times now they have had favorable field position they haven't started a drive past their 50 yet inside their own 50 i should say they'll start this one on the 46. so lassal working with a short field again and that pass on the near side and a good tackle deandre moore on his way to oklahoma good defense by the eagles coming up to make the play is ryan zolnick on the tackle so that makes it a second and 12. they back them up two 354 and counting to go in the first quarter score 7-nothing los alamitos quick pass they like those middle screens plenty of traffic and this will bring up a third down so the eagles defense have had a lot of time out there on the defensive side of the ball here in the first quarter and by the fifth game of the season you're really starting to feel in pretty good shape first game a little gassed and of course you get cramping and now you're you're game ready you're ready for league of course you got bumps and bruises every football player does but at this point these kids are in outstanding shape third and six from the 42. we're at 305 to go quarterback back to pass double pumps throws it near side and the initial tackle missed the ball is out and then recovered so deandre moore catches the pass from nelson and it looked like he was stopped he squeezes out and he ends up picking up a first down even though he fumbled the football so eagles almost had a turnover [Music] jackson potter has been intercepted twice but the second interception nullified on offsetting penalties 2 40 to go in the first quarter first and 10 from the 35. it's gonna be a run up the middle and that's hero canoes area they ran away from him in on the tackle for the eagles was number 11 lavar tally brings up a second of 10 ball in the 35. once again this is homecoming night for santa margherita here at saddleback college another quick handoff they go right up the middle again good defensive play for the eagles so this will bring up a third down and 11. once again another big third down play for the eagles defense griffins have had the offense had the ball on offense just about the entire first quarter snap and there's a man open there's a flag in the backfield this one might be coming back he does not get the first down on the other end of that was ryan pardon me on the other end of that for the los alamitos griffins was makai lemon the coveted wide receiver on his way to oklahoma as well these three juniors that are going to oklahoma makai lemon malachi nelson and deandre moore are all juniors and they've all committed to oklahoma so oklahoma doing some recruiting in southern california 107 to go as the penalty backs them up to the 48-yard line and believe it or not this is the worst field position the griffins have had in the first quarter and they've had the ball three different times and and it's going to be backing up five more yards so a couple fall starts [Music] the nest is in full swing tonight we'll tell you what the nest is if you're not familiar with santa margherita it's the student section very popular student section here at santa margherita catholic high school and they're all in their fluorescent colors and there they are right there as they stand and uh here we go it is third down 26. quarterback back to pass flushed out of his pocket laval laval tally is chasing and will not pick up the first down as you can see the jets that nelson has at quarterback so they went for it on third down that time they're with a passing situation quarterback nelson ran to his right after he was flushed out of the pocket fourth down and about six seven long long six just shy of the seven yard mark direct snap and down the field that ball is going to fall incomplete as the quarterback was rushed pretty heavily that time putting pressure on nelson was ryan zolnick and there's a penalty on the los alamitos griffins this will bring up fourth down and it looks like they're gonna bring out the punter again so we're 26 seconds away from the end of this first quarter the first quarter that the eagles have weathered i can tell you they've been out there on the defensive side of the ball they've seen a lot of offense which actually is not a bad thing they've really got a feel for this quarterback that's rated number two in the nation so it's the eagles football first and ten from the 32 jackson with a quick pass on the right side to lopez twist out of one tackle picks up a first down so that's the biggest play of the game so far on offense for the eagles and this will take us to the no once they start the clock we'll see if they can get in a play but there's 18 seconds left on the clock here we go this should be the last play of this first quarter quick handoff maybe a yard on that play so this will conclude the first quarter as the ball carrier was justin rivera the senior so the eagles down seven nothing as los alamitos griffins they score quickly on their first drive of the game we'll step aside enjoy the next couple minutes and just the sights and sounds of saddleback college [Music] hi everybody hello everybody as we get set for the second quarter to start the eagles have the football second and nine they stick to the run so this will bring up a third down justin rivera once again getting the football so this will be second down just underway here in the second quarter griffins with a seven nothing lead over the eagles jackson steps up he's gonna dump it off and boy did he get lucky that's going to be a first down he almost got crushed from behind somehow he stays on his feet dumps off the football and picks up a first down justin rivera the right place the right time that was a safety net for jackson potter so the eagles first and ten from the 44-yard line call it the 43-yard line 11-minute mark here in the second potter again steps up in the pocket and that was deflected nice defensive play by los alamitos achilles campos barrett he does have an interception already tonight so this is second down and 10 clock stops at 10 55 and the lights have are in effect the sun has set time is changing definitely as the sun's setting earlier on a cool night in the high 60s right now potter rolling to his right he's got everybody covered and he throws an interception it was the inbounds or out of bounds and that was an interception it looked like he was trying to dump it off but it was picked off by isaiah dorsey so isaiah dorsey with the interception so it's the second interception of the night first quarter interception by achilles campos barrett gavin porch did come up with an interception but that was nullified because of offsetting penalties isaiah dorsey at the 10 48 mark with the interception griffins have the ball going the other way now first and ten from the 38. across the middle that is caught and to the 45-yard line of los alamitos and that's a good look at d'andra the end deandre moore pardon me a nice pass by malachi nelson those two are very good friends they have been since they were little boys growing up together so right from the 45 high snap nelson airs this one out he's got a man looks back and it's caught and this is going to be easy six [Applause] makai lemon makai lemon on the other end of that pass for the touchdown and vasal leads it 13 to nothing so they line up for the p-a-t so the kick it's up and it is good so 14 to nothing lasalle leads it so they capitalize on the interception and a couple quick plays they score a touchdown and they lead it 14 to nothing here in the second quarter so the eagles have been down before in the norco game they didn't overcome norco so this is a test right now for the eagles so the eagles will have an opportunity here to rebound on offense and as a quarterback just like a pitcher on the mound you just got to forget about the bad pitch get ready for the next one and that will be the next throw for jackson potter that was just two fine plays by the los alamitos griffins a good interception and then a great pass from nelson to lemon and they have a sixth sense between those two they pretty much finish each other's sentences they know each other so well and that comes in handy on the football field that just developed really nicely for the griffins so they lead it 14 to nothing and the kick pooch kick to the 20 and it's dropped and picked up so the santa maria eagles will have the football first and ten on the return there was jace brown and jace is only a freshman getting varsity experience so the eagles come out jake foy is in the game for the eagles he's been fighting his own injuries and he gets the football and he goes up the middle he's a tough runner he gets out to the 35-yard line so helmut comes off a los alamitos player as he's got to go off the field for one play at least and that's brennan cind brennan the defensive end and he is looking at san jose state is one of the schools that he might attend second down and one foy might get the football again and passing lopez that's a good tackle but he actually stays with it three defenders right there so that was a pretty tough play for lopez they might have lost a couple on that one and they do so lopez has been busy he's been targeted tonight 9 19 to go in the first half eagles down 14-0 homecoming night here at santa back college in the city of mission viejo third and three huge third down player right here maybe the biggest play in the game for the eagles and that's going to be complete wide open was number 81. that was a missed assignment because baine eisman was all alone on that one in the pass a little short fell into the open field and jackson potter was being rushed pretty well and he tried to get that ball out there so alamitos griffins with an opportunity once again on offense as the eagles have to punt the football on fourth down and three they've been known to fake it but roma christensen will get a ground ball and this one will go all the way inside the 20. as the griffins will let that one bounce and that's a great punt alec wills lets that ball bounce past him and roman christensen a good weapon on special teams so the griffins with the football at 8 42 to go in this first half will first and ten from the 17-yard line once again you're watching santa margarita football out of the trinity league taking on los alamitos out of the sunset league in the final preseason game of this year and this is another ball that's being aired out over the shoulder and nice defensive play by the eagles canestro out there with a very good defensive play and that's exactly what the eagles are going to have to do because los al they like to air the football out [Music] good pressure on the quarterback that time he's already taken a hit a backside hit by hiro canoe and you know if there's one player that wants to get after the quarterback it's hiro canoe because he is also a multi-star athlete again pressure in this one almost intercepted and there's a flag on the play it might be offensive pass interference because right there comestro was going to intercept that ball and we'll see that would have been a game changer for the eagles that's exactly what they need is a big defensive play to get them back in this game so they're down 14 to nothing with 8 27 to go in the second quarter and los al will be backed up they would rather have the interception [Applause] yeah it was offensive pass interference otherwise actually that was a good offensive play otherwise it would have been an interception by canestro so smart play on offense even though it cost them the penalty they still have the football so they've got to get out to the 27 yard line for a first down timeout on the field as the official talks to the referee the white hat eagle's nest trying to get fired up as it's second down and a long 19 to go but we've seen the griffins like to pass it down field in a hurry they have the weapons there's no doubt about that time to pass over the middle and that's caught and that's a first down just like that out at the 35 yard line and getting up slow is alec wills so pretty quick first down as wills goes down he was hit pretty hard so 8 21 to go in this first half of play on homecoming night and a very solid crowd on the santa margarita side as the bleachers from end to end are filling up and they're still fans sprinkling in here on a cool night in the city of mission viejo jackson potter warming up on the sidelines staying loose as he's throwing the football and wills will come off on underneath his own power a little help as looked like it was a lower leg injury so the griffins have the ball first and ten from the 35-yard line and every game for the eagles whether it's pre-season or not is important as is for la salle la salle ran the gambit in the sunset league as they are the premier team right now out of that league for santa margarita they got to pick up a couple wins as they got a win gotta have a positive mark at least five wins maybe six wins to get in the playoffs how they break that down is always a guess to me at the end of the year but a pre-season four in one mark is extremely important to santa margarita playing out of the trinity league we'll tell you who's in the sunset league and the schedule ahead for the griffins quarterback being rushed he's got nobody to throw it to and now he does and this one's up in the air and caught not sure how that was caught but it was that was a great play by deandre moore on his way to oklahoma that's one reason why he's a four-star athlete that's a wrestling match for the ball and he came up with it first and ten to shy of the 50-yard line 745 and counting to go in the first half 14 to nothing pardoning 14 to nothing in the griffins malachi nelson oklahoma bound after his senior year is at quarterback number two quarterback in the nation and he will throw it out behind the intended receiver number 14 makai lemon solomon defending for santa margherita second down and 10 that stock stopped the clock at 7 24. so the griffins have scored twice on long passes not uncommon when you have two three outstanding receivers quarterback stepping up in the pocket across the 45 to the 44-yard line that is completed more on the other end of that one as well so this will bring up second down and three from the 44. looks like they're gonna run as they got three backs but no they're going to throw across the middle and that's completed for a first down and that's makai lemon so inside the 40 yard line to the 38 and the passing attack of the griffins is in full display now the defense knew they were in for a busy night for santa margarita with the potent offensive attack by some highly skilled receivers and a fine-tuned quarterback coming back for the ball and caught and then weaving his way up the field is lemon and it looks like that play is almost going to be a play that's going to be stopped but lemon is so talented of squirting his way out of trouble and getting up field he gets inside the 35 to the 34-yard line that's just raw talent second and five time out so lost out will call a timeout so the santa margherita eagles are down 14 to nothing here in the second quarter of play plenty of time left in this game the ebb and flow of it so los sao has four cif championships in history of their school 91 92 93 and o2 and those years were all the years of john barnes head coach john barnes coach from 1979 to 2015 i used to cover the los alamitos griffin's games as they played at veterans stadium on thursday nights and then we would do a show with john coach barnes on monday nights on their los alamitos cable tv station and he had a great run of course with los alamitos so los alaminos hasn't won a championship since 2002 and they have definitely the team that could win it this year they have 14 sunset league titles and they won it in 20. second and five from the 34. again nice little soft touch pass and completed for another first down and that is completed to number 28. yorado lists it as a strong safety and a running back first down from the 26. defense has been out on the field quite a bit tonight for the eagles quarterback airs this one out underneath it it's too long for the defender to get a pardon me for the receiver to get there total timing play between these two that's alec wills the intended receiver so this will bring up a second down all right whistle blown at the time of the snap don't go and it's 508. and there's a five-yard penalty against the eagles as it looked like they jumped third down and five timing once again to wills touch snow he drops it he dropped a touchdown pass that doesn't happen very often nicely thrown get wide of the brent so eagles breathe a sigh relief on that one it was a pretty pass and wills was there he just dropped it going into the end zone third down quarterback's going to take off and run it and he's going to get a first down but will he get in the end zone he's going to run out of bounds inside the 10-yard line so it'll be first and goal to go for the griffins at the 451 mark and what is one of their longer drives of the game defense is definitely going to need a break at halftime and the good thing is they'll have a little bit of an extended break because it is homecoming tonight so they'll have a couple extra minute minutes to kind of regroup and get a breath of fresh air as they have been out there for quite some time 14 nothing los alamitos griffins looking to cause more damage nelson they're going to go at it again and that's in the corner of the end zone good defensive play by the eagles and there's a couple penalties on the far side of the field comestro with a good defensive play and might have been some extra activity on the far side of the field three penalty flags went up at the same time griffins are pointing towards the eagles and we'll see what would happen here kayla go on a ref huddled up talking about it all right [Music] and they're gonna march towards the goal line here we go let's hear what he says so you got a personal foul and an unsportsmanlike penalty now let's see where they put the ball so they're going to back up the football it's at the 20-yard line 4 46 to go in the second quarter so griffin's half the football quarterback drops back to pass again he throws it and uh he didn't catch that one he caught it but he didn't have control of it as he went out of the back of the end zone [Applause] so two would have been touchdowns or could have been bart as he bobbled the ball going out of the back of the end zone that is more but they're just throwing these perfect passes to their receivers and it looks like this is something they do on a daily basis they're just so well tuned and in sync with each other and again you're looking at four and five star athletes with boss alamedos in key skill positions at quarterback and wide receiver and it looks like the last couple plays nelson has really had time to throw the football and he squirted out for a touch or first down he's going to throw this one up again and that one's dropped so wills that was a little bit tougher catch but nice defense by the eagles to stop that play on the other end of that defensive play was blake wilson number 34. and this is a third down and it looks like coming off the field the zolnick i'm not sure if he was hurt in the official cinema coming on for him as christopher furlong so they might probably just go out the end zone again i bet you there coach ray fenton says just do it again just throw it to one of the corners and let's see what we do so coach ruse calls a timeout so the eagles take a timeout with 4 34 to go in the clock ray fenton the head coach and greg snyder the assistant coach with los alamitos griffins [Music] so talking about the los alamitos griffins and john barnes the great run he had from 79 to 2015. coach ray fenton has been with the griffin since 2016 and he has some fantastic players the eagles have a three-in-one mark on the season they started off right here once again with san juan hills they won that game 38-14 norco they won 40-22 santa margherita beat augustine 39-10 and santa margarita won last saturday afternoon at st john bosco high school on a hot saturday afternoon they won that game 31-13 to improve to 3-1 and there's plenty of football to be played in this one this is a fourth down and they're gonna go short and just over the head the outstretched arms of wills so that was a extremely important defensive stand for santa margherita as dallas fourth down fourth down and they're going to try a field goal of 36 yards call it 37. clean snap to kick and that is long enough and it's no good they took their time calling that one just call it no good 14 to nothing is the score and a great defensive stand couple drop passes by los alamitos they showed you a number of plays on that one so the eagles would get the football with 4 31 to go in this first half is 31 to go in this first half of play potter back to pass and to lopez out to the 24 yard line so they're gonna work the clock work the sidelines potter's been jackson's been intercepted a couple times junior transfer from santa margarita receivers to the top of your screen he throws it way out there and that is connected for a first down going out of bounds for the catch and that's nico lopez so he's set up on the right side previously caught it and he's on the other end of that pass so it's definitely a target for jackson potter nick gallegos is also a target wide receiver he sets up wide to the left and the official he stops for some reason official talking referee goes back to his place and the official sideline official is the one who blew his whistle and [Music] i know they've been having some trouble with the scoreboard because i've been having trouble up there with down and distance and i'm not sure if they're trying to correct the time on the clock or not i thought that was a first down but it's third down and one so there is the stop so i think what they're doing is resetting the clock from what i can tell it's at 356 and now they've put it to 402 so it went out of bounds and the clock continued to run so 402 is put on the clock now and you can see third down so it's a huge third down play for the eagles and and outstretch the ball it's gonna be fourth down lopez tried to stretch it out and the line judge is sitting on just shy of the 30 so it's going to be a fourth down play and the eagles are going to go for this so this is a big play for the eagles they just stop the griffins on and they call another timeout so they're not singling who called the timeout if i sound a little frustrated i am trying to figure out our crew tonight so 329 to go i'm not sure why they stopped the play but they're gonna regroup and we're gonna start again here we go they line the clock and it's counting at 326. and fourth down potter hands off and they're not going to get it los al comes up with a big defensive stand and rivera rivera got the ball and los all was right there so at 3 14 to go in this first half the griffins will have the ball back in great field position so the eagles stop on gets stopped on fourth down and rossall takes the ball back you guys said there's an earthquake that just happened it's either the bleachers moving or there was an earthquake so you folks at home if there was an earthquake let us know so 3 11. second down and 10. so our director and camera operators are saying there definitely was an earthquake quarterback back to pass and it's intercepted the receiver never saw it and the eagles would get the ball back on the 28 yard line and that is a huge play for santa margherita as the momentum shifts once again blake wilson with the interception [Music] so blake wilson comes up with the football [Music] with 302 to go in the first half so lost out definitely giving the eagles some opportunity here not going in on their previous drive with three balls that should have been touchdown passes touchdown catches i said the passes were perfect that pass wasn't so perfect there was somebody that missed their assignment potter looking down field he's got a man wide open it looks like jalen jones at the 32-yard line so the biggest play of the game so far for the eagles potter stepped up had time jones got open and the eagles hoped to catalog capitalize at 2 52 plenty of time left on the clock biggest play of the game on offense so far jackson with some great time to throw and he has time again there's a man in the slot and yes nico lopez inside the 25 yard line the defense of los al definitely is not tired they haven't even been on the field that much and the offense of the eagles finally starting to get in a little bit of a groove here with two big plays actually three solid plays potter claps his hands gets ready for the snap 2 38 to go in this first half jackson steps back he's got a man that's in traffic three defenders three white shirts right there so intended for lopez doubt it if they come back to jaylen jones stops the at 2 34 to go in this first half the eagles down 14 to nothing glad you can join us here on eagle tv 2.0 sports here at saddleback college in the city and mission viejo [Music] potter pitches and that was a third down gibson roughage if i had that right no 47 i apologize that was robert liddell and on fourth down that's going to be close they might have to measure this so it looks like la salle stops the eagles on what was a promising drive to end this first half blake wilson with the interception two good pass plays by jackson potter but the griffins on defense they rise up to the occasion with 206 to go crazy last couple minutes of this first half so 14 to nothing 206 to go and malachi nelson back out at quarterback and that ball is going to be caught it looked like it was almost going to be knocked down at the line of scrimmage then it looked like it was deflected and then into the hands of wills pardon the lemon wills is number four lemon on the near side number 14 and this is where the los alamitos griffins are very dangerous second down 11 from the 22 they have the lead at 14 to nothing 125 to go in this first half fake hand off a long pass to wills and he is tackled good tackle out there wilson with a good tackle also solomon also out there for the eagles so this brings up a third and three let's see if they air this one out on a long pass they look back to call the play from the sidelines nelson hands it off and it's going to be shy of a first down so be fourth down with 38 seconds left i don't doubt that the griffins go for this so the eagles take a timeout fourth down and again it is homecoming tonight for the santa margarita eagle so at halftime they'll be shutting off the lights and from time to time we will have to turn off our audio because they'll be playing copyrighted songs popular songs and we are broadcasting through youtube and youtube has an algorithm that picks up copyrighted music and they immediately strike it and we don't want to get pulled off the air tonight even though that this is a non-commercial broadcast we just can't take the chance of you guys not being able to watch the second half so 37 seconds to go so we'll try to pipe in and show you as much as we possibly can and from what i understand they'll be turning off the lights here at saddleback so here we go fourth down and they are going for it and this does not surprise me or they're going to try to draw him off sides one of the two so he drops back and probably be a short punt and he does punt it and let's go over his head and it will bounce inside the 25 yard line to the 20. nick gallegos was back on the punt for the eagles and he has been busy tonight so 27 seconds coach sean embry the offensive coordinator and the assistant coach with the santa margherita eagles he calls the plays from the booth and he has 27 seconds to work with with his offense and back in the day i my football team has been the washington football team and back when they were called the redskins george allen was the head coach and he never left time on the clock he always used it and i always thought that was a good thing to do because there's always time to work with and that's looks like what the eagles are working with here so jackson potter empty set out of the shotgun formation he looks downfield steps up and he is going to be brought down so the clock at 20 seconds and counting and i don't think the eagles have any more timeouts and there's a player down he is pointing at his knee for the los alamitos griffins i don't see a number on him but his left knee is being looked at first look it might be 34. chase gonna stretch it hopefully this is just a crap but we won't speculate on the injury so there's eight 10 seconds pardon me left on the clock of the first half eagles have definitely weathered the storm they're only down 14 to nothing it could be worse as the griffins had three different opportunities to score on one series and they came up empty santa margarita had a pretty good opportunity just moments ago off of blake wilson interception but in fourth down they were stopped and it looks like the player is going to come off underneath his own power so that's good news so will the eagles run another play or they're going to wind the clock and they're going to go in at halftime down 14 to nothing so at the half here at santa margherita's homecoming they're down 14 to nothing and they've seen a pretty good pretty good offensive attack pretty good offensive attack from the los alamitos griffins with four and five star athletes four-star athletes at the wide receiver positions and a five-star quarterback who is uh not disappointed the fans here if you're a los alamitos griffin fan and that is malachi nelson on his way to oklahoma he's number one in california rated by 24 7 and then number two in the nation behind arch griffin so it is half time homecoming night we'll keep up the audio as much as we possibly can but if you come back to your tv or your computer or your mobile device in which you're watching the game on and you don't hear sound it is not because of the technical difficulty or that your device went out it's because of copyrighted music and it looks like we're going to have to quiet down pretty quickly enjoy what you see and we'll see

school homecoming queen i know you couldn't hear it but hopefully you enjoyed it and we're going to pipe down because the weekend's plan thank you [Music] hello everybody and welcome back if you've stepped aside and we're getting ready for the third and fourth quarter we welcome you it's 14 to nothing at halftime here at saddleback college the eagles will have an opportunity to have the ball first and it was los al who scored 14 unanswered points a couple interceptions on defense the eagles did a good job in that second quarter late in the second quarter of holding off los al so here we get set for the third quarter of play and nelson has thrown two touchdown passes in the first half here we go as we get set and we are underway here in the third quarter the final half of football before league season starts and the eagles will have the ball across the 25 and maybe not as the penalty was thrown in on the run back on the run back that was nick gallegos and the official is quickly busy throwing the flag and it might back up santa margarita not something they need to start this third quarter so congratulations goes out to caitlyn de jesus she was crowned the homecoming queen for the eagles extremely fun night for the dads as they go out with their daughters and so they will back up the eagles first and ten and they'll have the ball on the 17-yard line pardon me on the yeah 17-yard line i'm gonna stop looking at the scoreboard because it's been a little iffy but here we go so first play as potter drops back to pass and he has time he's going to air this one out quickly and it's it's caught wow what a catch i hesitated because bane eisemann made it look spectacular and it was what a catch by bane the eagles come out with one big pass play held our breath on that one if you're an eagles fan so they're going to continue to throw the football jackson potter drops back to pass airing this one out this one's going to be almost intercepted so they're going for the gusto pretty quickly and that ball was almost picked off by kevin longstreet the junior at 5 10 165 pounds at least that's what they list him as in the program so santa margarita with a second down and 10 from the 46 haven't established a ton of running game yet as they the official there's a timeout so time out by los sal so the eagles haven't established hadn't had an opportunity to establish much of a running game but they have been coming out and passing the football so short memory i want to congratulate all the girls that were part of the homecoming court congratulations for being nominated and i know that's an experience that you will have forever and ever as part of your high school days so eagles down 14 to nothing they will have a bye coming up and then they'll get started pretty quickly when league opens back up so second down and 10 from the 46. eagles line up with three receivers in the bottom part of your screen jackson talks to his running back and says step to your right that is rivera and potter and that is caught by lopez his forward progress was a couple yards up so that will be close to the marker and it'll be third third down and about two so nico lopez caught several passes in that first half there's a big third down play right here for the eagles you're gonna hear me say it quite a bit but these third down plays are the biggest plays of the game at this point they almost have to score here to start this third quarter whether it's a touchdown or a field goal they've got to maintain and choose some clock and a nice play here establishing the run for a first down so justin rivera the senior running back with a first down so the eagles pick up the first down kevin longstreet has to go off as his helmet came off coming off the field is jake foy number 42 the running back jackson potter by himself empty set in the backfield and he's going to throw quickly to the sidelines and caught and out of bounds at the 20-yard line is nick gallegos and so you see a little bit of tempo here and that's one thing coach ruse was talking about in coach embry the last couple weeks with jackson potter he started to get in a groove and started to get in the tempo of the game definitely taking control of this offense and he has not shied away from throwing the ball even though he has two picks on the night and up the middle is foy and he gets to the 10 yard line inside the 10. and this is a huge play because the eagles have had a lackluster third quarter in several games dating back to last year in the year before for some reason the third quarter has been somewhat of an achilles heel for the eagles so this would be a big plus on their side to score got to hold on to the football here and on the that was a good tackle out of the flat nice job on the tackle and i believe that was kevin longstreet 21 yes he's back in the game and he makes his presence known after his helmet came off so that was a loss of one in the play and this is where the eagles they have been down in the red zone before but they came up short on fourth down they went forward on fourth down they couldn't get in los alamos got the ball back and the eagles were back out on defense so here second and 11 9 20 to go in the third quarter homecoming night here at saddleback college potter nobody's open he's going to have to throw in the back of the end zone and out of bounds so he did the only thing he could other than tucking it under and running he didn't have a whole lot of room when he did that so this will bring up a third down and 11. and they've got to get in the end zone can't get a first down so i would assume if they don't pick it up here they got to get some points out of it send a man in motion potter rolling to his right looking in the end zone and this ball is going to fall in the back of the end zone intended for lopez potter was heavily rushed and they will come out to try a field goal and this is teasley who definitely has the leg teasley has been very effective in special teams play as the kicker 905 on the clock as they open up drive the field and 27 yard field goal and there's a whistle and the kick would have been good there's a flag on the play no urgency here to call this one but we'll see so five yard penalty against the griffins and again the eagles have to get it in the end zone because it is fourth down in gold to go so they will line up for the field goal this would be five yards shorter so 24 yard field gold attempt it looks to be where they're going to line it up straight up and foy's going to run out in the field and they're going to go for this so the eagles change their mind rolling the dice big play right here for the eagles definitely want to get some points on the board to establish here in the third quarter they've burned a few minutes off the clock and jackson potter is back out there foy the running back los alamitos trots a new set of players out they're regular defensive players so here we go i'll say it biggest play of the game for the eagles right now fourth down will they try to draw them off sides is one thing i'm thinking about try to draw them offsides and if they do they'll have an opportunity to be that much closer if not they can trot their field goal team back out there but looks like they're going to go for it and here we go potter and it's touchdown jalen jones they roll the dice with shawn embry calling the plays and it's a touchdown to start the second half for the eagles potter to jaylen jones biggest play of the game for the eagles and they score so it's 14-6 and now to come out with the p-a-t the kick it's up and it's good so that's the most impressive drive of the game and the most impressive drive of a third quarter in some time for the eagles as they cut the lead in half with 8 55 to go in the third quarter we've got a new ball game so settle in for what could be a very entertaining second half here at saddleback college and it already has been a halftime homecoming for the eagles caitlyn dejesus as the homecoming queen and the eagles come out with jackson potter to jones for the touchdown that was a pretty play i'm sure you guys at home know that you can re-watch that we don't have the capability on our current system to show you a replay but we've added two extra cameras since the last time we did this game so we're happy to do that a squip kick and and running out across the 35 yard line so they'll have good field position so once again on youtube live you can scroll back and see the play again and i just i want to congratulate two people on our staff one on our staff and one at saddleback matthew broday working with brenton kelly getting us up on the air and adding production elements this week on our broadcast so thank you matthew and thank you brenton pj higgins directing tonight kayla khamet on our hero cam all doing a great job across the middle and that ball almost intercepted as it falls to the turf tipped so some balls have been off the fingertips of these exceptional wide receivers for the los alamitos griffins now you're looking at momentum the momentum is to me right now a little bit shifting to santa margherita but los alamitos hadn't had the ball yet here in the third quarter until just now so the momentum could shift stronger to santa margarita if they have a defensive stand the griffins can strike quick they just that ball is going to be trolling it's going to be picked up and it's going to be a touchdown by santa margarita off the fingertips up the quarterback into the end zone the eagles go and that is jacob bauer jacob bauer with the huge play as nelson couldn't find the football he didn't know where it was almost like a catcher when he loses sight of the ball behind the plate of a baseball game he couldn't find it and bauer goes into the end zone so huge play for santa margherita they come out and score twice here in the second half and they are one point away from tying this game jacob bauer with a great play nobody was going to catch him as he picked up that ball and i know it's a long time before christmas but that was a gift so the kick it's up and this one is straight through and it's 14 14. so how about the momentum shift now no doubt it's towards the eagles as we are back where we started at the 839 mark in the third quarter we're all tied up so that didn't take long because at the 8 55 mark the eagles scored a touchdown on fourth down on a huge play plays like that can change the entire outlook of your season even if it's pre-season a non-league game but you have the sunset league which historically has always been a very strong league in southern california and of course we know about the trinity league as being what is touted as the strongest league in the country so the kick again it's a low line drive kick it bounces all the way past the difference it bounces all the way to the 10 yard line as the kick returner let it squint by him and i think it might have touched him he couldn't let it go out of bounds because i think it touched him and he picks it up and so remember in the first half where los alamitos griffins had outstanding field position there is a flag on the play and it's sitting back by the four yard line so we'll see what this is all about i believe that's a flag it looks like it's no it's not okay it's a yellow marker out there but here we go first and ten from about the 11 and a half yard line so the eagles now have a great opportunity but the griffins in the first half they started the game at the 50-yard line on both times they had the football and they scored twice quarterback running for his life throws this one up and it's going to be incomplete so again good defense in the secondary for the eagles 31 on the play for santa margarita and again we've called several different players that one is the rue zamanora and he's listed as a freshman so a freshman playing against the junior out there on the wide receiver position for los alamitos was intended for more nelson back to pass and that's dropped so i'm running out of fingers to count how many times they have dropped the ball i know i'm into the second hand now so there's about six drop passes for los alamitos los alamitos has played a couple tight games in their season so far so we told you about that we thought there was an earthquake matthew broday just shared with me that there was a 4.3 earthquake earlier this evening and that's what you guys felt at home so this will bring up a fourth down and correct me if i'm wrong is this the first pun of the game for los alamitos no they've had another punt before at least one so they're punting the football and this is a good pun at the 47-yard line so just inside the 45 and might be an injured player for los alamitos so that was nick gallegos on the punt return as he trots off and and los alas player gets up and gets off the field so the eagles who did not have good field position that much at all in the first half are working with a short field at the 44 yard line scoring back-to-back unanswered touchdowns to tie this game and it's 14 to 14 on homecoming night eagles with the football and they're gonna line up in a passing set here as jackson potter lines up just shy of the 50. he takes it steps back he looks downfield he's got a man open and cutting on the outside stepping inside and outside so that's another completion for jackson potter and that is baine eisman who made a spectacular catch on the first series of this third quarter to get the eagles going so foy in the backfield number 42 with jackson potter they pick up a first down first and ten inside the 35 and fully gets it he blasts up the middle and there's something that the eagles came out with a vigor that was not there in the first half but it is there here in the second half somebody must have died underneath their skin at halftime and said boys wake up and now they have come out just steamrolling los alamitos with good runs and some really good passing so foy trying to get to the first down marker he is shy this will bring up a third down so another big third down play for santa margherita tyrion nash the freshman comes out number 47. he ran the ball really well against nolan catholic i don't doubt that he gets the football here lining up on the right side of jackson potter jackson and they're gonna pass and it's intended for lopez touchdown mikko lopez skies high the eagles lead it 20 to 14 at the 6 57 mark in the third quarter unbelievable catch by nico lopez and you couldn't have thrown the ball any better if you're jackson potter [Applause] 657 mark in the third quarter and it's potter nico lopez and a very impressive drive as the eagles take the lead three unanswered touchdowns three pats to make it 21-14 unbelievable third quarter for santa margherita without a doubt their best third quarter in about three seasons my oh my what a turnabout here in the third they had plenty of time to think about that first half as the extended homecoming ceremony at halftime boy the coaches coached up these boys and it's 21 to 14. this is exactly the kind of game that you want to watch on a friday night whether you're a los alamitos fan or a santa margherita fan it's just quality high school football and will the griffins respond i have to say that they will have some kind of response and let's see what the eagles do and they go and they kick it the same way it's bobbled and it is brought down on the 31 yard line so here we go with los alamitos trotting back out on the field the griffins won their first game 65-18 over bakersfield they played a close one against lincoln of san diego they won that one by four 21-17 they beat paramount 50 to nothing and last week they defeated buchanan 34-31 so they have played some close games and they've had some blowout games which will this be will this be a close game it is right now at 21 to 14. they had the lead 14 to nothing they looked like they were well in control of this game they come out running and a first down nigel osborne on his list of colleges a three-star athlete asu colorado kansas and san diego state he just picked up the first down first and 10 6 35 to go in this third quarter what a third quarter it's been nelson hands it off once again so they're trying to establish the run which they did not do a whole lot of in that first half they threw the ball at will and you get the feeling now that the secondary of santa margherita they have a little bit more confidence than they did that first half the los alamitos griffins have allowed santa margherita back in this game with drop passes and a huge fumble for a touchdown running it once again no doubt they're going to come out passing on this play that's a third down so they've got to get to the 47-yard line for a first call gotta get to the 46-yard line of the griffins for a first down 21-14 eagles lead it third down nelson back to pass he lines up and that's completed for a first down more on the other end of that again the quarterback is very familiar with his wide receivers makai lemon and deandre moore all three of those players that i just mentioned are gonna play college football at oklahoma 5 15 to go in the third eagles have scored three quick touchdowns los alamitos trying to run the football at this point but gang defense that time lavar tally in on the tackle the vartali i had him on efb insider this week great young man he wants to play professional football he's only a sophomore and you see number 11 he plays football really well second down and 11 a loss of one on the play osborne in the backfield he'll get the call and he runs to his right and he runs about to the 39-yard line so this will bring up another important third down play for los alamitos they scored in the first quarter on their first drive it was nelson the porch for a touchdown pass that came at the 850 mark they started that drive on the 50-yard line they'll back up los alamitos now on the holding call and then they scored in the second quarter dorsey intercepted the ball and then lemon caught a td catch td pass pardon me from nelson and that made it 14 to nothing that's the way the score stood in a very busy second quarter at the end a lot of back and forth a lot of opportunities for los alamitos but they didn't get in the end zone it looked like they were going to run away with this one early this pass deep and it's caught a beautiful catch by makai lemon and you just can't defend that that was a great great catch he just sprawled out superman catch first down and then some so they established a run on a couple plays and then they let 14 go so makai lemon with a good catch and they come back to lemon and this one's trouble whenever he gets inside like that somehow he stays on his feet he gets inside the five yard line down to the four yard line bang bang two plays to lemon and they're inside the five so first down and goal to go with three minutes and 43 seconds left on the clock for the third quarter [Music] looks like gavin porch in the backfield for the los alamitos griffins three receivers to the top of your screen and rushed heavily has some room to run looking to go in and just shy of the goal line a touchdown saving tackle by the eagles [Music] a little shaken up for the eagles nigel osborne in the backfield and it is a touchdown isaiah dorsey with the touchdown for the los alamitos griffins and now the griffins are back in within one so they line up for the p-80 the kick it's up and it is good and we're back at a tie ball game 21-21 three scorers in this third quarter pardon me four scores in this third quarter santa margarita on fourth down potter to jalen jones and then jacob bauer with a fumble recovery potter nico lopez as the eagles took the lead 21-14 and then now the los alamitos griffins with a drive to tie the game at 21. isaiah dorsey goes in from one yard out back in 2017. congratulations 2 50 to go in this third quarter of play here at santa back college on a perfect night for football squib kick picked up on the 15-yard line running outside with some room and helmet flies off and jalen jones with a good return matthew solomon for los alamitos his helmet comes off and the eagles will have the football with 2 41 to go here in the third quarter so how will they respond now the emotions of this game back and forth up and down wow these kids are going to be exhausted the coaches will sleep until tuesday 21-21 and the thing for santa margarita is that they have a buy coming up so they won't play football for two more weeks and games so they'll have some time to either enjoy this win or look beyond it and get ready for lead so here we go second down and 10. somewhat of a stillness now in the crowd as we're anticipating what's next and that pass is completed just shy of the 40-yard line nick gallegos on the other end of that one actually a little shorter than that okay now they move the ball back up shy of 38-yard line so they've got to get to the 45-yard line for just past the 44-yard line for a first down potter who there's offsides by los alamitos so would that change the play now that shawn embry will call onto the field is 88 kyle brody eagles with a third down jake foy in the backfield who's had a couple strong runs in this third quarter for the eagles third down and two let's see if he gets it looks like they're in the passing set here and no it's four he's gonna get it and he's gonna get a first down straight ahead runner he loves contact and he loves to barrel through people and he gets a first down all the way to the 41-yard line so the eagles continue i thought he was on the 41 they mark it on the 42-yard line so potter quickly lines up his offensive set and they're going hurry up no doubt foy running again picks up four yards on that first down carry clock inside two minutes to play in the third quarter this could be a game where the last team holding the ball scores and wins 42 points have been put up on the board by these two teams empty set for jackson potter he rolls out looks downfield everybody's covered he might have to throw this one away and he does smart play he throws it down to the turf towards nick gallegos so it's 133 to go in the third decent crowd on the other side for los alamitos that they come down from the ross moore area in los alamitos right up the 405 freeway third down and six and that's deflected a good good play there by 28 as he comes up and knocks that ball down for the los alamitos griffins brian yarato so this brings up a fourth down and the quarterback stays out there jackson potter so another big play we see how quickly the los alamitos griffins can move the ball eagles want to hold on to the ball as much as they can and here they're going to go for it they converted on a very important fourth down play before let's see if they do it again they've got a man open and it's caught foy and he gets a first down hit hard out of bounds at the 30-yard line hold your breath on that because foy has had a very tender shoulder throughout this season and he comes out and that's a huge play he had two big plays on that drive ball in the 30-yard line the eagles keep it 125. remember that play that fourth down play potter hands it off and breaking up and gaining a first down is number 47 the freshman taryan nash so they pick up back to back first downs the freshman comes out and the freshmen play tomorrow at santa margarita high school against los alamitos nash gets it again and he's got plenty of room he's gonna go all the way in for the touchdown the freshman scores a touchdown and the eagles take back the lead [Applause] so tarya nash comes in and scores a huge go-ahead touchdown and the kick it's up and it's good so the eagles 28-21 with 30 52 seconds left in this third quarter and what a third quarter it's been so the eagles take back the lead 28 to 21 having scored four touchdowns in this third quarter wow an amazing third quarter for santa margarita if you watch this game again and you're an eagles fan just go to the third quarter and you'll see uh an amazing display of offense and defense jacob bauer tied the game at 14 a piece when he picked up a fumble off a snap and again they kick it on the squib kick good field position at the 40-yard line for los al working with a 60-yard field 28 21 45 seconds to go in this third quarter will there be more scoring in the third quarter it's been attract me been a one-two punch let's see who responds now i think we've gone beyond the boxing now we're in an mma fight here as whipping out all the tools across the middle just shy of a first down so los alamitos with 35 seconds left and counting in this third quarter have seen their lead disappear from 14 to nothing now 28-21 eagles eagles on the bench oh that snap goes long again and oh my goodness picked up at the 27 yard line almost another fumble recovery for the eagles and almost another fumble recovery for number 44 for santa margarita who was like living the dream again jacob bauer and that is the end of the third quarter i don't know about you but i've got to catch my breath that was amazing third quarter the eagles 28-21 to finish off three 12 more minutes of high school football to go and vassal will have the ball on third down um so 12 more minutes of high school football here because los alamitos has the football taking on santa margherita to start the fourth they're down by seven they tie the game after they were down this ball is going to be picked off by oh i spoke to you soon blake wilson was out there it's almost [Applause] it's not a bad thing that he didn't intercept it because it brings up a fourth down it would have been good for him in his stats but this brings up a fourth down and 22 and the quarterback for los al is now limping number seven malachi nelson is hobbling a little bit i was looking down field on the throw so he must have got hit as he threw it and he hasn't taken too many steps i'm not sure what the delay is because there's been no time out so okay now they call a timeout so they waited until they possibly could on the play clock and quarterback seems to be okay he's limping a little bit trying to shake it off see number seven his left leg so right now it's fourth down and 22 santa margarita with the ball [Applause] so the eagles nest tonight on homecoming celebrating what is right now an eagle lead at 28-21 there's annie moultonville in the pink wig there in the glasses from our class in our tv broadcast journalism honors class showing her school spirit 28-21 fourth down and 22 and no one's back now so there's another timeout so coach ruse isn't happy on the sidelines he's right there by the 40-yard line he was he was having his somebody wasn't where they were supposed to be just put it that way and nick gallego started to come on off and back and he wasn't sure but i don't think that was the problem i think there was a little confusion if they were going for it or not or if they were punting or not so they burned a timeout in a tight game 28-21 wow what a game so 11 53 to go in the game 28-21 fourth down mick gallegos back on his 40-yard line and we've seen some high snaps in this game on offense and this is a booming kick that's a really good punt on the 31 yard line and it could have been a penalty there but i don't think the official had us back to it so 11 46 the eagles what they want to do here is definitely want to score but you also want to burn as much time off the clock in doing so so you might see foy out there running the football and also taria nash the freshman who has a touchdown [Music] santa margarita with a very important game here even though it's pre-season they've got a tough trinity league schedule ahead of them they have a buy coming up on september 24th they'll be back in action the following week and there is what i was referring to the running game and foy is just saying i'm going to stay on my feet as long as i can and he gets a first down that's a second and a third effort i talked to him and the more that he gets the football the more he likes it we had him on eagle insider a few weeks back and he goes i just love it when you continue to give me the football [Applause] and you also see sam caspino number eight so here we go let's see where they're gonna run on first down to ten i don't doubt that they'll stay on the ground and they do and he bounces off one defender and he gets two yards out of what could have been a loss maybe a yard so we're inside 11 minutes to play foy comes off the field for a breather nash comes out and they might just start this one-two punch between these two i wish i would love to hear what shawn embry is talking about right now up in the offensive booth of the eagles in his perch and they're going to run up they got a player open it's going to be touchdown eagles no one's going to catch him call jalen jones with the touchdown and the eagles have a 13 point lead there is a penalty flag on the 26-yard line [Applause] and it looks like it's going to stand [Applause] [Music] so santa margarita gets called after the play and they're going to do this penalty on the kickoff unbelievable turn of events that was just amazing offensive plays they set him up on the run and then somebody forgot to cover the best receiver on the eagles football team jalen jones and you know the coaches have to love this because the coaches coach against each other and that kick gets up and it's good so the eagles now have 35 points up on the board and a two touchdown lead that was amazing if one game can define a preseason it's this one because the eagles have had a lot of trouble in the third quarters of games for some reason they have come out flat over the last couple years but not tonight something changed i can't wait to talk to coach ruse on efb insider and if you haven't seen our efb insider shows please watch them they are really good shows not because i'm telling you they are because they are the coaches give me great interviews the athletes give me fantastic insight about them about their desire of the game about who they are all you have to do is go to youtube under eagle tv 2.0 sports or you can research e fb insider stands for eagle football insider and if you'd like to come out and help support efb insider we would love to have you and that kick is picked up on the 42 so they'll work with a short field as they cross the 45-yard line [Music] so on that last series you saw the quarterback for los alamitos malachi nelson limp off the field a little bit favoring his left leg but he seems like he is shaking that off so they are forced to pass the football and they will so the secondary safeties cornerbacks linebackers of the eagles will be busy in the final 10 minutes and 20 seconds of this game again a little bit of a delay as they're looking to call a play looks like they changed the play quarterback back to pass and this is perfect for the eagles on defense nobody's open and he throws it into the turf intended in the direction of deandre moore vivar talley in on the rush along with his partner ryan zolnik if you're at home and you're watching this game which you probably are that's stating the obvious here that some of you might be in the stadium each and every home game or each and every game the eagles go back to the grotto tonight if the eagles win is one night you're going to want to go to the grotto it's on the campus of santa margherita and it's a pretty stoic happening each and every football game 35-21 the quarterback gonna be brought down i believe that's hiro canoe so hero canoe who's going to be playing football on saturdays big time just came up with a huge sack so the secondary doing their job and hero canoe filled up the hole and came in and sworn the quarterback it's a great defensive line pressure by santa margarita 9 37 to go in this game eagles up by two touchdowns 35 to 21. if you just joined us they were down 14 to nothing at halftime quarterback back to pass again and rushed he flushed out of the pocket stays on his feet looks down the field throws an interception an ill-advised throw and intercepted by number 44 who's gonna have a great night of sleep because he's had a great night of football unbelievable play once again by jacob bauer he's got a fumble recovery and now an interception jacob bauer number 44. [Applause] so 917 left on the clock and the eagles have the lead and they have the football back at midfield jackson potter will hand off and he'll hand off to foy and you get the sense that foy might just pop one what's the character of los alamitos and are they defeated mentally right now or will they step up and play some great defense and get the ball back they're definitely are bruised number two i'm looking down right now and of course you know his name deandre moore he is starting to favor the ba he's going down i was watching him he's he's laying down now he it's his he might have i don't want to say it looks like he's got a cramp i'm hoping he didn't pull a hamstring or anything but he's stretching like he has a cramp and even though it was 68 degrees to start the game i believe it's cooled off now it's 63 degrees in mission viejo but these guys have played their hearts out and looks like he might have a cramp so he's a he's a player on his way to oklahoma fantastic young man i've watched interviews with him i haven't met him personally but he seems like just a great individual so we hope he's okay 35 to 21 with 8 35 to go in this game i was talking to my son preston he's directed tonight i said pj what do you think at halftime and he looked up at me and he goes you know he goes i think they can come back and win this game and boy they haven't won yet but they're 14 points ahead so he's gonna go off and it it looks like one of those cramps that just are so hard once you get him yeah he's holding that right thigh and that right leg in the back so if he comes back on the field you'll know why it was a cramp so second down and five for the eagles again tarya nash and foy have been doing a good job of running the football in the third and now the fourth quarter the freshman nash in at running back and they let they're going to let the clock burn as far and as long as they possibly can it's down to 8 20 now and they'll snap the ball so every snap i believe it's 45 seconds in high school every time they have an opportunity is it 45 seconds at 45 and nash gets it and he is a barrel of steam and this young man gets to the 32-yard line he's like a freight train when he starts to pick up speed and watch out because he will level you he's a very even keel well-composed freshman who doesn't get too excited [Applause] he just does his job it's amazing i've watched him on the field and on what i've done handheld camera when he scored touchdowns and it's like routine so that picks up a first down first 10 from the 32. the los alamitos griffins are undefeated at 4-0 they've had a couple close games and they've had blowout wins and they're gonna pass the football and they've got a man in the corner and it's a touchdown eagles score and you gotta give a lot of credit to number six he deserves that touchdown nico lopez he kept the eagles in the game in the first half and he gets a touchdown here in the second half as the eagles are now well in control of this game 7 31 to go in the game and jackson potter throws a touchdown pass to nico lopez and the eagles capitalize on the jacob bauer interception and they now lead 42-21 [Music] number five number six results in 42 42 points up on the scoreboard once again you can see the highlights of all of our games with santa margherita on aimsports.tv on our football channel and you can watch our efb insiders our inside look to eagle football coach interview and player interviews each and every week we just completed our fifth episode and our fifth in our 11th overall episode since march so just an unreal turn of events between the first half and the second half the eagles have scored 42 points in less than two quarters of football you know the eagles lost their second game of the season and i commented then sometimes it's good to lose one early because you know what your weaknesses are and they lost that game but they have come back and have put together back-to-back wins and maybe back-to-back to back wins so that norco loss at 40 to 22 at norco on a hot friday night but the eagles come back they beat st augustine 39-10 and then nolan catholic last week 31-13 nolan catholic of texas and now here they put 42 points up on the board in the second half and we're not done yet and the emotions and the excitement on the other side with la sao has definitely settled it's it's not simmering yet it was hot in that first two quarters of play they'll go back and look at that second quarter and the drop passes a couple high snaps that definitely played a huge factor in this game so malachi nelson back at a quarterback and they're going to run the football for a first down and that will take some time off the clock running the football as they'll stop it and in high school football what they do is they'll reset the chain gang and then when that's set the referee winds it up and they have wound it up and the clock is ticking at six minutes and ten seconds to go on this friday night in september quarterback steps up and that ball is going to fall incomplete it will stop the clock at 601 so the sunset league taking on the trinity league here at saddleback college so what a third quarter it was one to remember if you're an eagles fan i want to make mention uh why i have the opportunity the coaches of santa margherita and each and every one of these coaches work their tail off because i watch them each and every week as do all coaches on both sides of the ball anthony rouzier is the head coach corey overton the director of football operations also in charge of the cornerbacks shawn embry i've mentioned his name several times tonight he's the offensive coordinator and the assistant coach his son sean also plays freshman football jake fay former orange lutheran athlete and coach play is the special teams and safeties tony dye stand out at ucla and played in the nfl as a defensive coordinator tim holt is the offense alliance coach and he has to be happy tonight especially with that running game as the los angeles griffins move the ball inside the 40. ken mcmillan is the running backs coach he has to be happy austin pettis wide receivers coach his nephew is dante pettis of the new york football giants corey thompson is the assistant running back coach ryan potter is the quarterback's coach he's pleased tonight pardon me ryan porter is pleased with jackson potter joshua walker is the defensive line coach chris devera is a linebackers coach joe torres as griffin's move in the football joe torres is the assistant defensive line coach corey garcia assistant linebackers coach in rovers billy neely is the freshman coach and also helps out on the varsity and damien holly is the director of sports performance hope i didn't miss anybody but that's the coaches for santa margarita and of course the doctors and the trainers and the videographers and all the ball girls do a great ball girls and ball boys do a great job and potter pardon me quarterback being brought down so nelson being brought down by number 10 zolneck who's had a good game tonight for santa margarita this brings up a second down to 13. but the clock is the worst enemy right now for the los alamitos griffins as it's inside four minutes to play and no doubt they have to get in the end zone and they've got a running back that's out of bounds and picks up what will be another first down so santa margarita nigel osborne with the first down santa margherita getting tested here on defense remember they played a long time many minutes in that first half second down pardon me first down and this pass in the corner and falls incomplete good defensive play for the eagles so back out there is donovan camestro and israel solomon number one comestro has had a really tough job tonight and he has stepped up donovan comestro number 13. playing some solid football that's for sure so 3 45 the clock is stopped but that incomplete pass and this in the end zone and out of the end zone caught it but he was out of bounds [Music] so that stops the clock at 3 39 at third down and so homecoming night looks like it's going to be a success to this point they still have three minutes and 39 seconds i never say it's over till it's over especially what a crazy game this one's been even though they're up by three touchdowns 42-21 eagles would love a stop here so this will bring up a fourth down play they can get a first down inside the one-yard line i doubt very much they're going to run the football so the clock is moving at 3 15. malachi nelson at quarterback he was favoring his left leg earlier and it looks like they're going to call a timeout the eagles are no yep santa margarita calls the timeout national security [Music] 2 25 to go after the timeout los alamitos failed to get in the end zone the eagles have the football they ran it on first down he had eight yards and second down and two inside two minutes and 10 seconds to play so if you lost internet or if we lost internet you only missed one play so 42-21 looks like what two streams so 155 to go and the crowd of los alamitos starts to exit out of the stands they'll go 4-1 on the season for pre-season they will take on furniture marketing they yes they will take on huntington beach on the 22nd and then they'll face furniture edison fountain valley and then they say huntington beach again so maybe that's not right for the eagles they have a bye week coming up and then they'll travel to jay sarah on october 1 survive on october 7th modern day on october 15th we'll be back here at santa margarita saddleback college on the 22nd of october as the eagles will take on saint john bosco and they'll finish up trinity league on the 29th of october against orange lutheran right here at saddleback so the eagles will win this game in amazing fashion 42-21 i haven't seen a high school football game this back and forth in some time an emotional game of highs and lows and it's been a very solid second half for santa margarita scoring 42 points and only holding los alamitos to 21 total so final timeout on the field and after the game we'll stay with you as santa margherita with their celebration i'm sure but also the alma mater with um santa margherita so the school song after the end of the game and uh on a night that caitlyn de jesus was crowned the homecoming queen

saddleback college for helping us out with this game and doing a fantastic job so the punt and they'll have 17 seconds left on the clock i'll be curious if they take a knee and or just try to maybe one last ditch into the end zone i want to wish the los alamitos griffins all the best in the sunset league they have always been a classy football team coach ray fenton and greg snyder is the assistant coach will probably rule the sunset league as they try to return to prominence the last cif title was in 2002 so santa margherita with a win tonight of 42-21 pretty amazing run at it the freshman play tomorrow at 10 a.m at santa margarita catholic high school and i know they'll have a very good game there's another interception and guess who gets it number 44 once again for santa
