the game 7-7 in the second quarter. One ref
ruled the play a TD, others no. The officials
had to gather to agree the TD counted.

After trailing 15-7 to Madison, a former CIF powerhouse, late in the third quarter, La Jolla regrouped and pulled off a stunning 27-15 win in the first round of the CIF Division 2 football playoffs Fri., Nov. 8.
In chilly 58-degree conditions, the Santa Ana winds during the week having subsided, Viking quarterback Hudson Smith dealt two big blows to the Warhawks in the fourth quarter: a 50-yard pass play to Hank Hansen, who ran it home, and a strike to a wide-open Andre McLees Walker covering 39 yards down the right side on a blown coverage.
The two sparkling plays came three minutes of elapsed time apart, and rewarded a smaller Veterans Day three-day weekend home crowd for braving the chill at Gene Edwards Stadium.
