You could feel the energy of the two opposing quarterbacks. Mira Mesa's Tyson Line, 6'3", 225, was literally trying to will his team's way back into the game--after an early 21-7 La Jolla lead--and then after the Vikings went up, 41-21, ending the third quarter.
On the other side, La Jolla QB Jackson Diehl was at the height of his powers. He just did it in a silkier way: The senior ran for the first score; passed to Hank "Triple H" Hansen for the second; then ran for another TD starting the second quarter.
Jackson ran for two more touchdowns before the third quarter even got old.
La Jolla, with its potent offense directed by Diehl and solid defense behind Sawyer Moseley and manic tackler Wyatt "Boz" Boczanowski, was clearly the superior force.
But QB Line and his Marauder teammates made things interesting, extending the hosts on Homecoming to the one-and-a-half-minute mark at the end of the fourth quarter, scoring on Line's short pass to receiver Chris Brown to make the scoreboard read 48-42, before an onside kick was secured by the Vikings' Jett Thomas and their gas finally ran out.
LJ Coach Tyler Roach's squad won their opening Eastern League game, with Point Loma re-scheduled for a Thursday night game at PLHS Oct. 5 to follow.
