"It was really sorry that we lost to La Jolla," said wide receiver Dom LaRocha, the Torrey Pines wide receiver who caught a long pass setting up a Falcon score in the first half.
"I'm not one to talk," said LaRocha, later when asked about Torrey Pines' next match-up against Escondido Fri., Sept. 6.
But he did say, "Our offense has a tendency to start slow," and it put Coach Scott Ashby's squad in a tough spot when the Vikings upped their game to build a 21-7 lead, finally conquering Torrey Pines 21-14 in one of the biggest encounters La Jolla has had during the eight Coach Tyler Roach years.
In other words, LaRocha was saying, with the Falcon offense starting slowly behind quarterback Reece Morgan, it put the visitors in a bit of a hole that they couldn't dig out of.
The week before, playing Freedom High of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania at a neutral site in New York, Torrey Pines battled Freedom pretty evenly before losing a close one, 17-14. Ashby said Freedom had linemen who weighed 290 pounds, and the team was rated number one in their county in Pennsylvania, which apparently means they're pretty good.
